South Torfrey Farm - Holiday Cottages in Cornwall http://www.southtorfreyfarm.com Self Catering Farm Stay Holidays Wed, 09 May 2012 13:42:12 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 Wind Turbines http://www.southtorfreyfarm.com/2012/01/wind-turbines-cornwall/ http://www.southtorfreyfarm.com/2012/01/wind-turbines-cornwall/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:08:45 +0000 South Torfrey Farm http://www.southtorfreyfarm.com/?p=1859 Wednesday 18th April, Cornwall County Council planning committee narrowly refused our planning application for the 2x20kw turbines. 8 votes against to 7 votes in favour. A very finely balanced decision.

We still hope to generate our own sustainable energy on the farm in the future. Organic farming and farm holidays powered by the wind. We understand it’s a contentious issue, polarising opinions in the community. However, it’s one that believe is worth pursuing.

St Petroc’s Society was the first organisation in Cornwall to provide accommodation and housing related support services to meet the needs of the single homeless.

We think that they do an admirable job in the community and were delighted when Margaret Rail, St Petroc’s Society Administrator, thanked us in the email shown below.

What can I say? On behalf of everyone at St Petroc’s and all of our clients a huge THANK YOU for your support. I can’t begin to tell you the difference it makes to be able to provide the Christmas lunches over the holiday period. We really are so grateful.

Thank you once again and on behalf of everyone at St Petroc’s I would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas.
