German term or phrase: Schutzobjekt
Is in a list of reference projects for a pipeline engineering company. Not much context apart from:

- Bestimmung von Mindestabständen zwischen Windenergieanlagen und diversen Schutzobjekten.

Any ideas anyone? Items of property to be protected perhaps?

Explanation:
If you google it, you'll find forests, woods, houses, plots of land and all sorts of things fall into the category of "Schutzobjekt"...

neutral  Lancashireman: ‘worthy’/’requiring’…It all sounds a bit subjective and half-hearted. Why should a rapacious pipeline engineering company take any account of heritage or beauty unless compelled to by law?

  -> some are more environmentally-conscious than others - see e.g. Shell (who are also into wind farms) who have become much more "considerate" since learning the hard way after the Brent Spar affair...

\'site designated for protection\'

  -> That would not be a very 'worthy' thing to do under any circumstances. Necks ‘require’ protection at all times…:-)
