Planning

Heidra provides services on the technical aspects of the planning process. During the initial stages of developing a site there are many restrictions to consider. Through Heidra's network of regional and national partners we can provide a turnkey contractor solution to your development.

The main technical aspects that Heidra provides support on are:

• Desktop Noise Assessment and provision of 10 m wind monitoring met masts specifically for background noise measurement.
• Proximity to public spaces/paths, overhead power lines, microwave links.
• Electomagnetic interference with respect to radar and TV transmission.
• Zone of Visual Influence (ZVI) to assess landscape and visual impact of wind turbines.
• Photomontages from key view points.

Heidra, with the support of third party renewable energy organisations, has compiled a road map for the development of community wind sites. Please contact us with your comments.
