AN ONLINE petition, protesting against the technical planning document TAN8 needs just 170 more signatures before it reaches 3,000.

Montgomeryshire-based campaigner Jo Weller contacted the County Times to say the deadline for the petition is tomorrow afternoon (Thursday, June 16), and they need just 170 signatures before they reach the 3,000 mark.

"When the technical advice note popularly known as TAN 8 was issued by the Welsh Assembly Government in 2005, the local population did not truly grasp the scale of what it meant to the inhabitants of Mid Wales," the petition reads.

"TAN 8 will allow hundreds of huge wind turbines to be built upon wind farms within our communities.

"We call upon the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh Government to undertake a major review of the TAN 8 policy to include more public consultation," it says.

Montgomeryshire AM Russell George is set to present the petition to the Welsh Government next week.
