Abstract

On appeal, the Planning Inspector acknowledged that the production capacity of the turbines would provide a material contribution to the supply of renewable energy in accordance with government policy, but concluded that the proposal would unacceptably harm the surrounding landscapes and the living conditions of nearby residents.
