    Not really. The big planning issue is how well hidden they are from (relatively) distant viewers and they’re going to be viewing them pretty much horizontally … just like low flying aircraft.

    In the daytime they’re often less obvious than at night (if they have to have a light). As a result it’s not unusual for applications to be scaled back a bit to get below 150m.

    But yeah, it’s a funny business. Some people hate them but some communities welcome them, as they get quite a lot of money off them (Culloden for example has well over £100,000 burning a hole in their pockets at the moment and the payments keep coming).
