Wind farm set for approval
A controversial bid for a wind farm on the South Cheshire border is set to be given the green light by planning chiefs tomorrow night (Tuesday).
More than 2,300 objections have been lodged against Nuon Renewables’ plans to erect the seven-turbine development at the Poplar Lane site at Woore but planners at North Shropshire District Council are recommending it is accepted.
The turbines, said to be as high as St Paul’s Cathedral, would be clearly visible from Nantwich, Audlem, Buerton and Bridgemere.
