24th July 2008
Ecotricity and Sainsbury’s are working in partnership to submit a planning application to build a single 2MW wind turbine at their Hams Hall Distribution Centre. This will generate clean, non-polluting electricity to power the Sainsbury’s site.
Public Exhibition
See the plans at the public exhibition Coleshill Town Hall on the 28th July between 12.00 -7.00pm when members of the team will be available to discuss the proposals and answer your questions.
The exhibition will then move to Colehill Library and be open to the public from 29th July – 6th August. The exhibition will include photomontages of the proposed new wind turbines, information on wind power technology and the damaging effects of climate change.
If you can’t make the exhibition, information on the proposal and an opportunity to submit comments can be found on this page, which will be updated with progress.
Once the full application is submitted it will be available to view at:
Planning Department,
The Council House,
South Street,
Atherstone,
North Warwickshire,
CV9 1BG
