Southwest Environmental Limited

Cold Northcott Windfarm

Southwest Environmental were commissioned to carry out a Visual Impact Assessment for a Wind turbine adjacent to the Cold Northcott Wind farm a wind farm that has 21 turbines, each around 25 meters high to the hub and a 33 meter blade diameter giving an overall height of approx. 41 meters. In order to create a 3D model it was necessary to reproduce a 3D model of the existing twin blade turbines.

The cold northcott turbines are larger than they would first appear as the modeled turbine to the left demonstrates. Note the human for scale to the left of the turbine.

Within the landscape setting the turbines do not appear as large.
