Uncomfortable link between B9 Energy and Omagh District Council

See attached link below and/or click on the image to the left for 'B9 Energy' Wind Farms featured on Omagh District Council Webpage.

B9 Energy originally build Bessy Bell Co. Tyrone (now looking at phase 3 development) and has been responsible for several other Windfarms in the Omagh area. This company is planning to build yet another Windfarm on Slievard and Rylagh, in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. 

"Omagh, County Tyrone at the Foothills of the Sperrins" 

How this promotes culture, leisure and tourism is beyond me...

http://www.omagh.gov.uk/culture_leisure_and_tourism/things_to_do/activities/other_activities/item.php?id=244

P.S. take note of the misleading information provided...

e.g. "Stimulate UK manufacturing industry to take a lead in the growing world-wide markets for renewable energy." 

Turbines are manufactured in Germany and imported here.

e.g. "Wind turbines are a temporary change to the landscape. A well-sited wind farm will not cause any disturbance." 

There is nothing temporary about it...tonnes of steel, concrete, miles of  heavy duty roads and irreversible damage to blanket bogs, flora/fauna, bats, birds, etc, etc. 

Also fails to specify what 'well sited' means...many of these same wind farms have been associated with sleep disturbance.
