WIND FARM PROPOSAL REJECTED

The Palmers Hollow windfarm proposal has been rejected at appeal.

EXCERPTS FROM DECISION On Heritage
The effect on St Mary’s Bottesford
I regard this as a seriously harmful consequence that tells heavily against the current proposals. (Para. 38)
Regarding Normanton:
The effect would be so pronounced that it seems fair to
say that this small rural settlement would become overwhelmed by the
presence of the turbines in such close proximity. (Para. 43)
On Landscape
I do not accept that there is a strong enough case to justify accepting the landscape harm that would be associated with the Palmers Hollow proposal. (Para. 67)
