Schwanewede defends itself against wind farm plans: areas have to shrink!

Schwanewede, Deutschland - Alarm mood in Schwanewede! The district of Osterholz is planning the construction of new wind farms and wants to use over half of the required areas in the community. But the Schwaneweder vehemently defend themselves against these plans! In a haunting statement, developed by a working group of administration and politics, the municipality calls for a drastic reduction in areas in its field and brings concrete suggestions into play. The Committee on Planning and Community Development has unanimously decided to submit this statement to the district on time. The participation process runs until November 15, while statements can be submitted by November 29.

The municipality has clear demands: a planned expansion area in the Neuenkirchener Heide has to go! A calm area in the potential area of Schmidt's pine in Brundorf is also to be painted. The intended areas in the Schwaneweder march should be drastically reduced, and a potential area in Löhnhorst/Stendorf is also to be reduced. The citizens are alarmed and wonder how far the wind power plans will go.

Development of new residential areas

But that's not all! Two development plans were also discussed in the specialist committee. The updated plan for a new residential area in Meyenburg was approved. The construction area, which is to be located east of Landesstraße 134 and north of the street on the Geestrand, is reduced. Now citizens, authorities and other public sponsors can express their opinion on the plans.

In addition, a company is urgently looking for a new location for its composting system, which she has to give up in Neuenkirchen for the construction of a business park. It was planned to move the facility next to the Verwertstoffhof of the waste service-GmbH Osterholz on Landesstraße 149. However, according to a nature conservation examination that has found a "high biotope quality", this area for nature conservation is to be further developed. An expensive renovation for the composting system, which could cost up to 30,000 euros, was also rejected. Now it remains to be seen where the system can be accommodated in the future!
