Not really. The big planning issue is how well hidden they are from (relatively) distant viewers and they're going to be viewing them pretty much horizontally ... just like low flying aircraft.
In the daytime they're often less obvious than at night (if they have to have a light). As a result it's not unusual for applications to be scaled back a bit to get below 150m.
But yeah, it's a funny business. Some people hate them but some communities welcome them, as they get quite a lot of money off them (Culloden for example has well over £100,000 burning a hole in their pockets at the moment and the payments keep coming).
