Western Daily Press:
Wind farms 'slashing house prices by half' in Devon

23 April 2014

''Recently there have been reports published by the LSE (London School of Economics) concluding that house values within close proximity of a wind farm are reduced by up to 11 per cent - however, here on the ground in Devon when houses are near a single wind turbine, estate agents are recommending huge discounts of between 40 and 50 per cent in some cases - if they're saleable at all,'' said Mrs Mills.
