Flooding

Could this windfarm development cause more flooding in Stoke Goldington?

The Petsoe End Environmental Statement required a total of 2880 cubic meters of concrete and 280 tonnes of reinforcing steel. In addition 28,200 tonnes of stone would be needed to improve the existing access route and the new tracks and crane pads. This was for 7 turbines.

If we do a simple calculation by using the figures from the Petsoe end developer to calculate what would be needed for the 15 turbines proposed for Salcey it comes to:

6,165 cubic meters of concrete

600 tonnes of reinforcing steel

60,420 tonnes of stone

Of course, we will update these figures when Ecotricity supply us with the actual data.


6,165 cubic meters of concrete will be put into the ground above the village of Stoke Goldington.

Along with 600 tonnes of reinforcing steel and 60,420 tonnes of stone.

The Stoke Goldington floods in 2007 happened because water cascaded down this hill.

What will happen when

6,165 cubic meters of concrete

600 tonnes of reinforcing steel

60,420 tonnes of stone

is added to the area above this hill?
How will this affect the Stoke Goldington flood defences ?
