wind generation planning application

A planning application has been made to install a wind generator (15mt high and 5.5m blades) in a field backing on to my property. The field is classed as agricultural land.

Do I have any chance in stopping the installation?

It will be in full view from from my kichen, bedroom, lounge and conservatory - at the moment we have open countryside views of the field and surrounding hedgrow, trees.

I am concerned about noise, view, and mostly that it will devalue my property and make it less saleable.

Any links to web sites or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    How much you will notice it will depend on its size and the distance from your house. I think they are quite interesting to look at so personally being able to see a turbine from the window wouldn't put me off buying a house. It would just be a question of any noise that's audible from the house and garden.
