The UK’s first on-line service to search and report on the cumulative visual impact of onshore wind turbines has been developed by Linknode. Launched at Renewable UK 2014 in Manchester on 11 November, the data service can cut the time taken for assessments from “weeks to minutes”, slashing costs for wind farm developers, local communities and public bodies involved in assessing planning submissions.
It is available immediately to existing customers and, from late November, will be integrated into VentusAR v2.1, the latest version of Linknode’s visual assessment mobile app for tablets, launched originally in 2013.
