More details from petition creator

ETSU-R-97 is woefully out of date for measuring noise generated by current wind turbines & not fit for purpose and any wind turbine development planned or proposed using ETSU-R-97 should be cancelled immediately.

ETSU-R-97 is: • 12 years out of date based on smaller turbines (15-30 metres) versus today’s 125 – 130 metre turbines and 2 ++ megawatts installed capacity!! • did not conduct an independent study • did not fulfil promise to update the findings in 1999 • quotes WHO which they used to calculate night time noise levels written THIRTY years ago • is more appropriate for measuring noisy urban locations than for quiet rural locations where many onshore turbines are planned. • is the only guideline that suggests a higher noise level at night! • does not specify maximum noise permitted!!!!! • does not account noisy wind shear associated with current tall turbines. • ignores WHO Guidelines for Community Noise 1999 • does not protect our communities from unbearable noise pollution • ignores Parliament enacting the Human Rights Act 1998
