MoD has objected to four windfarms in past year over radar interference fears

The Ministry of Defence has raised objections to at least four planned wind farms because the rotating blades could interfere with radar systems that detect military aircraft. In late June, officials warned that an onshore wind farm in County Durham might prevent aircraft from being detected within a Royal Air Force low‑flying area. The ministry’s concerns were sent to Britain’s planning authority.

MoD officials raised concerns in late June over plans for an onshore windfarm in County Durham that could result in aircraft “not being detected” within an RAF Low Flying Area, according to a letter to Britain’s planning authority.
