Green homeowner hit with noise abatement order because 40ft wind turbine is driving his neighbours mad | Mail Online

Green homeowner hit with noise abatement order because 40ft wind turbine is driving his neighbours mad Mail Online

When Stephen Munday spent £20,000 on a wind turbine to generate electricity for his home, he was proud to be doing his bit for the environment.

He got planning permission and put up the 40ft device two years ago, making sure he stuck to strict noise level limits.

But neighbours still complained that the sound was annoying - and now the local council has ordered him to switch it off.

Looks like we can take wind off the list of alternative energy options. Everybody seems to want it, but nobody wants it near them.
