In November 2009, Oxford City Council announced it was ready "to dispose of" more than ten acres of city-owned land in Cutteslowe Park, North Oxford, in the Green Belt, to allow a turbine to be built next to the A40 as part of its bid to make Oxford a national leader in developing major wind energy schemes.
The project was to be undertaken with PfR - Partnerships for Renewables, set up by the Carbon Trust to work with the public sector.
CPRE City District Committee wrote a letter of objection to the City Council objecting to the removal of land from Cutteslowe Park.
In August 2010, the project was put on hold, due to aviation issues – there was a problem with the potential impact of the proposed turbine on existing radars at RAF Benson and RAF Brize Norton.
