taken into account and all the properties have been assessed as having windows in each of
the facades as a worst case scenario.
14.3.3 The properties identified within a distance of 900 metres and 130 degrees either side of the
north of the proposed wind turbine locations were analysed to select a short list of receptors
which are orientated towards the turbine. Properties were chosen based on their proximity to
the proposed wind turbine locations and having either open space or wider roads adjacent to
them, allowing open view towards the turbine location. Properties were also chosen to
illustrate shadow flicker effects over the short, medium and long range views.
14.3.4 The location of the assessed receptor properties are shown in Figure 14.1 and detailed in
Table 14.1 below.
Park Farm (H1)
14.3.5 According to the OS Map and from observations made during a site visit there is one
residential building and farm buildings located at Park Farm to the southeast of the proposed
turbine locations. All of the façades, apart from the most easterly façade, face the proposed
turbine locations.
14.3.6 The property has been modelled as having three façades as detailed below:
• North façade, orientated at 20° relative to north and measuring as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high;
• South façade, orientated at 200° relative to north and measuring, as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high; and
• West façade, orientated at 290° relative to north and measuring, as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high.
41-51, Bowhouse Gardens (H2)
14.3.7 According to the OS Map and from observations made during a site visit there is a block of
flats located to the northwest of the proposed turbine 1 location. All of the façades, apart from
the most northerly façade, face the proposed turbine locations.
14.3.8 The property has been modelled as having three façades as detailed below:
• East façade, orientated at 90° relative to north and measuring as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high;
• South façade, orientated at 180° relative to north and measuring, as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high; and
• West façade, orientated at 270° relative to north and measuring, as standard, 10m
wide and 5m high.
