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.
