Fields by The Rookery The wind turbines seen in the background are located at the "Africa Alive" wildlife park in Kessingland (in adjacent grid square). 

Between 2007 and 2009 protesters tried to halt the installation of the two  126m high turbines, said to generate electricity equivalent to the needs of 3,000 homes, but finally lost their fight in April 2009.  Kessingland Wind Farm was completed in June 2011. More than 200 complaints were then  lodged concerning the noise generated by one of the turbines, apparently caused by light winds blowing in the direction of nearby homes. Measures to change the angle of the blades have since been undertaken.
