fewcott windfarm

Online Community Consultation

Tourism

A tourism and socio-economics assessment has been undertaken looking at both the direct and indirect effects of the windfarm upon the local and wider area.


The investment in Fewcott windfarm has the potential to generate a range of economic and social effects and opportunities for local businesses, most notably employment opportunities and local spending. Examples of direct opportunities for local contractors would include haulage, turbine base and access track construction, the supply of building materials and mechanical, electrical and supervisory services.


One footpath leads through the site, and it is likely that access tracks will cross this in order to reach the turbines. The footpath will remain accessible during operation of the Fewcott windfarm, and any disruption during construction will be minor. No other footpaths or other public rights of way will be directly impacted by the development.
