ANOTHER application is being put forward to erect wind turbines in the West Wight.

But this time it is for just two vertical axis wind turbines measuring 10.7 metres from the ground to top of blade, at Pondacre Farm, Yarmouth Road, Shalfleet.

A previous application some years ago on farmland at Wellow by Your Energy led to the forming of protest group The Wight Against Rural Turbines (Thwart).

That application was rejected by planners and eventually abandoned by the applicants.
