Newspaper had an article about a couple having their home in the shadow of a huge windmill. Basically, every time it turns 1/3th, a huge shadow falls over everything. light - dark - light - dark. That would drive anybody nuts.
The law requires the windmills to be build at least 200m from homes, but in this case, the law was simply ignored and a permit was given, to reach some green target.
The windmill owner suggested they sell their house (to who?) and move.
- Escapado 7y agoI completely sympathize with those people and as you stated the law was broken and I think the proper law should be enforced. Yet, from what I gather people are still on the fence even if all laws are considered properly because even with the windmills 3 miles away they will hate on them.
- hcknwscommenter 7y agoUhhh. Sorry but I am having a very difficult to time believing this. If it were true, the windmill and permitting jurisdiction are looking at a huge lawsuit that they cannot win. Please provide a link or citation to this newspaper article.
- hyperman1 7y agoKinda hard. It was a (paper)newspaper abandoned on a train. But there are plenty comparable situations. Here an article from a family living in a situation allowed by law: at most 30h per year in the shadow which turns out to be 30 minutes per day while they are eating. They made a youtube movie. https://m.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20120601_00170047 https://m.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20120601_00170047 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMO4Mf2mJyM https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMO4Mf2mJyM
