Perhaps that's why it's been painted this colour. Anyone managed to find the planning application yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone managed to find the planning application yet? It’ll be painted this colour to make it blend into the horizon, they often paint the bottom half of wind turbines green, helps with planning. I’m assuming the council get so much money from glasto they can pretty much get away with anything these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewj4659 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 It was up on the Wednesday, looked brilliant but with the fire and high winds I think it definitely had the potential to be very dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
