The scheme, say Shropshire and Telford Community Energy, will generate electricity for up to 30 years, after which the turbine would be removed or for it to be extended, subject to new planning consent.
The firm has targeted Conery Farm, to the southwest of Bishop’s Castle. Owned by Beamond Partners Ltd, the historical name for the field is ‘Shootin Alley’, so is also referred to as the Shootin Alley Wind Project or Shootin Alley Wind Turbine.
The proposed turbine has a maximum height to blade tip of 80m and a rotar diameter of 61m.
Shropshire & Telford Community Energy says, since 2021, it has been working on the project with Lightfoot, an environmental charity based in Bishop’s Castle. There have since been three public meetings, with the plans presented to the town council.
