Tedder Hill Wind Farm Community Fund currently receives an annual donation from the developer. Find out more about funding information for communities here.
In September 2009 planning permission was granted to build a wind farm on land at Pilmar Lane, Roos. As part of the planning consent, the original developer made a commitment to pay a lump sum of £100,000 (now largely spent) and thereafter annual payments of c. £7,000 (index-linked) into a community fund.
Ventient Energy now owns the wind farm and with it, the commitment to make annual contributions into the Tedder Hill Community Wind Farm Fund.
