Description

Combs Farm is situated at the southern edge of Farnsfield parish, approximately 2km south-west of the village. The development associated with the construction of the wind turbine was restricted to a single arable field to the west of Combs Farm. Development took place within three zones. The length of new access road from the existing track to the turbine compound was designated as Zone 1; it was 4m wide and approximately 100m long. The turbine compound itself was designated as Zone 2: it measured roughly 35m x 15m, and was to contain the turbine base and a surrounding area of hard-standing. Zone 3 comprised an area of additional road surfacing at the point where the existing access track was to be widened at the junction with Rob Lane. Any potential extra-mural activity associated with the scheduled hill fort either did not extend as far as the development site or lay at a depth that was not disturbed by the construction groundworks (access track and hard-standing area).
