Fourteen
submissions received on proposed Wind Farm
Clutha District
Council has received 14 submissions on New Zealand Windfarms Ltd’s application
to build a small wind farm at Mt Stuart, west of Milton.
Submissions on the
proposal closed last week after the resource consent application was publicly
notified on 11 December last year.
Planning and
Environment Manager Murray Brass said that of the 14 submissions, 13 were from
people who live in the general vicinity of the proposed site who either opposed
or had concerns with the proposal.
Mr Brass said the
one other submission received was from TrustPower, which supported the proposal.
He said New Zealand
Windfarms had now asked that the consent application be put on hold for a month
while the company considered its response. A letter advising submitters of this
will be sent out today.
