Don't you like wind turbines .. I think they are bootiful !
May have been some sort of condition to allow it to go through?
Funny though, how authorities view applications in a different way.
Son has just related a story in the Planning magazine with regard to Biomass power (yeh, know where they use rotting fruit, etc, and produces methane gas to power turbines).
Cardiff had an application for one on their docks, but was turned down as thought it was too near populated areas .. like wouldn't be pleasant for residents to have wagons rolling up with this 'fuel'.
The authority next to them turned a similar application down because was too far away from population, and difficult to power to residents ! Seems about a third of power is lost due to power plants being miles away from residents.
Ironic ...
