The government of Ontario has established several setback requirements for WIND turbines. If wind turbines are larger than 50kW rated, or are able to be louder than 102dBA, or if there are more than 5 turbines within 3km of any particular noise RECEPTOR (eg: a house), then the proposed turbines may be required to UNDERGO a noise study which may affect the setback requirements for the project, or they may skip the noise study by increasing the setback requirements. Otherwise, the standard setback requirement of 550M from any receptor (eg: a house) applies to all receptors except those who have specifically granted permission for the turbine to be closer (eg: if you own your own turbine then you may give yourself permission to INSTALL the turbine closer than 550m to your house).
