Knowesgate and Harwood Forest Wind Capacity Study - part 1

Abstract

This is part 2 of the study which considers the capacity of the landscape in the Knowesgate and Harwood Forest area to accommodate specific types and scales of wind farm development.

The report identifies a number of scenarios based on differing levels of potential, ranging from 70MW to 240MW. The preferred scenario identifies the consultant's preferred scale and pattern of development in the Harwood Forest / Knowesgate area. This indicates that on the basis of landscape capacity, cumulative impact and the identification of three preferred development areas, the study area could accommodate around 100MW of wind energy development.
