Thanks for the response everyone.
I don't really want to be a NIMBY but at the moment I admit that I want to scream "Not in my back yard !" very loudly.

I'm filled with horror because there don't seem to be very many accepted objections any more.The government seems to be ignoring them and making that policy. E.g. it is apparently not even an acceptable argument that there is insufficient wind at a particular site, because technology might improve in a few years.The landscape here (South Northants) is very soft and beautiful and has small, stone villages.I hate to feel enclosed and hate noise, which is one of the reasons we live here (I can't bear those sonic cat scarers etc because they give me a headache. I can't live near busy roads because the constant "hum" soon gives me a headache).

I don't know how I will be affected by flicker and the noise, and seeing these huge structures all the time.Maybe I'm overreacting, but at the moment I just don't know...........So keep those views coming. There have been some interesting ones so far.
