]]> Object to Sunday Working https://stoppencloe.co.uk/object-to-sunday-working/ Wed, 22 Jan 2025 22:53:35 +0000 67916dea05f04d0001991a14 Pencloe Wind Farm submitted a planning application on December 20th to request for work to take place on Sundays until March 2025. Not that the planning application really matters to them since they were working on Sundays at the start of December 2024.

Do the residents and locals ever get a break? Given all the issues we’ve faced so far, why not just add another day and make it seven days a week? Sunday is the only day we actually get peace.

Update 23rd January 2024

Thanks to everyone who had emailed! In short: Sunday working will not be supported at this time by the Planning Authority.

Part of the response has been provided by the Planning Authority relating to this below:

We have had a formal request from the developer to allow very limited scale Sunday working and an application is with us for that.  However, I personally had a discussion with the developers agent early last week and advised them that we would not support this application at the moment, given the recent problems with the Afton Road access route.  On this basis there is no permission to work on Sunday and this was made clear to the developer, which they acknowledged.  If for any reason Sunday working is occurring despite this, that would be a breach of their conditions and could be subject to enforcement action.

The new proposal includes a "modest 5-turbine extension" in addition to the 19 turbines currently under construction. Initially, plans were for 21 turbines, but they had to reduce the count. Now, they are proposing an additional 5 in the area, bringing the total to 24.

The new turbines will be built on land owned by Ashmark Farm, walking distance from New Cumnock Cemetery and extremely visible. You can view the visuals and all planning documents on pencloe.com.  These will be the closest ones to the village so far. The area where the turbines will be built has already had multiple planning applications declined.

Residents have endured a significant increase in traffic due to the number of HGVs and contractors. The Afton Road has been subject to speeding and dangerous driving. Residents has been raising concerns about speeding with the company and contractors for months. Afton Road is no longer a safe place for locals to live, drive, cycle or walk. We cannot let this continue, if you are wondering why please read about the issues and see how our countryside now looks on a map.

The planning application has not been submitted yet but may be at the start of 2025. We urge you to object to this planning proposal, and we will post updates when the application is submitted.
