After four years of grant giving, Resilient Energy Great Dunkilns (REGD) is seeking to appoint new members to the St Briavels Turbine Community Resilience Fund Advisory Panel. The panel meets twice a year to review applications received at each six monthly funding round against the published criteria and advises on the allocations of grants to be made.

05 / Severndale Wind Turbine, Tidenham, Gloucestershire
Update
Planning permission was granted by the Forest of Dean District council in August 2015 but quashed in April 2016 following a Judicial Review which focussed on the legality of the positive weight given by the council in relation to the community benefits, and a planning condition which required the developer to be a community benefit society established for the benefit of the local community. Following a Court of Appeal hearing in November 2017, we are currently awaiting a final decision on whether this locally supported community project can proceed.
LOCATION: The site is located between the A48 and the Newport to Gloucester railway line, on land at Severndale Farm, Tidenham, opposite Hanley Court Business Park.
TURBINE TYPE: Like the installed community turbines at St Briavels and Alvington, this proposal is for a single community wind turbine. The project is designed to help meet local energy needs whilst minimising environmental impacts and maximising local socio-economic benefits.
