What will be their exact location, size (tower and blades), and base elevation?
The one-metre NG references for the tower bases are given as : (Easting) 357349 (Northing) 377958 (Easting) 357484 (Northing) 377527 (Easting) 357128 (Northing) 377279 (Easting) 357343 (Northing) 376965 The towers would be 80m (262 ft) tall at the hub, and the blade diameter 90m (295 ft) giving a total height of 125m (410 feet), among the largest ever contemplated in the UK. The Aston turbines would be sited up to 40m Above Sea Level, making their overall height some 165m ASL (540 ft) and exceptionally prominent. The swept area of each turbine is 6,362m2. [For comparison, even the largest Boeing 747-400 Jumbo Jet has a wingspan of only 64m, so if you could imagine a 747 twirling on end, each of the proposed Aston generators would sweep about twice that area. The four sets of turbines would occupy a staggering “six acres of sky”. Such an eminence overtops Frodsham, Helsby and Eddisbury Hills.
