d’Arta starts building windmill despite neighborhood protest

They especially think that the silence and the beautiful view are disappearing. The wind turbine is to generate green electricity for the production of d’Arta. The company is already doing this with solar panels. However, local residents had lodged an objection, the municipality gave negative advice, but the province approved it anyway.

“We see that here with sorrow. We see that growing and growing here. We enjoyed a quiet landscape and that will now be over with those rotating blades, that rotor, we are afraid of that. We all have here too animals, what the impact will be, we have no idea,” it sounds.

Like it or not, the wind turbine is almost completely there. And for a company that uses the same electricity as 15,000 families per year, that’s a nice bonus.

Also a little further on, in Pittem there may be three windmills, on the Vijfstraat and Bergstraat. But that file is still with the Council for Permit Disputes.
