SIR – I can understand the concerns of people in the vicinity of the Bronte Moor, where these very large wind turbines are proposed to be built, particularly if you go south from there towards Halifax and see the mass of these monstrosities built there.

I don’t doubt for one moment that they are needed for the future and for our wellbeing and are becoming a necessary evil.

Is it not possible to at least use some form of camouflage such as wooded areas round them that in time will grow and still leave the parts needed with all the space they need to catch the wind?

In the main, trees take a long time to grow but there are lots that are fast-growing and could be strategically-placed and will have lots of growth within ten to 12 years. Woods can’t be planted everywhere, but they could be on that site and on that particular moor. Who knows, in time lots more visitors would be attracted to the wood areas and the moor could become more useful.
