SIR - I agree with Mr Hornby (T&A, December 15), a 400ft wind turbine on the Princes Soft Drinks site is very much a step too far.

I also think this project is more about making money than saving the planet.

We do not want this monster in our face every time we look out of our back windows or hear noise from it when we sit out in our back garden.

We are a retired couple and spend many hours in the garden in summer. This thing will ruin our quality of life and devalue our property.

To people away from it, it will just be a novelty in the distance but to residents who live around this site it will be a nightmare.

I would like to ask the planning committee would they vote for it to be on their doorsteps? I think the answer would be no.

So I say to them, do not grant planning permission, it is wrong and unfair.

Mrs Margaret Avery, Shetcliffe Lane, Bradford
