Hartlepool wind farm plans provoke mixed reaction from Mail readers

The Mail reported how Seneca Global Energy in the town is preparing to submit planning applications to council chiefs before the end of the month for three turbines with a maximum height of 99 metres (325ft). Two are proposed to be sited on land west of Brenda Road south of Tata steel, and a single turbine on the Tofts Farm Industrial Estate, to the north of Tofts Road West. Seaton Councillor James Black has warned of opposition if concerns around noise, health and their appearance are not addressed by the applicant. There were mixed views from people to the news on the Mail’s social media channels.
