Wind Turbine Separation Distance Requirements

Wind turbines with a hub height over 25m must be separated from occupied properties by a distance of 10 times the rotor diameter, with a minimum of 500m.

For all wind turbine development with a hub height over 25m, a separation distance of 10 times the rotor diameter to all occupied properties, with a minimum distance of not less than 500m, will generally apply.
