Response

Hastings Borough Council is not aware of the installation of any wind turbines.

Certain size wind turbines can be erected Permitted Development (PD). However, we hold no information relating to this.

Regarding wind turbines erected as a result of planning permission, all information is accessible on our public access web site where the subject matter of applications can be searched and all relevant documents will be attached to the application:
