Planning and Building
One turbine is located in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, (Turbine 1) the second in the Hornchurch Marshes area of the London Borough of Havering (Turbine 2). Planning consent was received from both boroughs. The Mayor of London gave approval for the project in August 2003.
The turbines were constructed by the Ecotricity green energy company. Planning consent was also given for a third 65 m high turbine (Turbine 3) in Havering, with a viewing platform which was not constructed. The planned operating date for the third wind turbine was by the first quarter of 2009, and it was eventually installed in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words planning and, planning and/or building:
“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)
“My consciousness-raising group is still going on. Every Monday night it meets, somewhere in Greenwich Village, and it drinks a lot of red wine and eats a lot of cheese. A friend of mine who is in it tells me that at the last meeting, each of the women took her turn to explain, in considerable detail, what she was planning to stuff her Thanksgiving turkey with. I no longer go to the group.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“The artist must be an egotist because, like the spider, he draws all his building material from his own breast. But just the same the artist alone among men knows what true humility means. His reach forever exceeds his grasp. He can never be satisfied with his work. He knows when he has done well, but he knows he has never attained his dream. He knows he never can.”
—Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
