				<description><![CDATA[Plans have been quashed for a new wind farm in a Northamptonshire village. Daventy District Council’s planning committee met on Thursday to discuss the proposed development on land at Flint Hill Farm in High Street, Yelvertoft. The committee refused the application for the installation of a wind turbine. Councillor Steve Osborne, chairman of the planning committee, said: “The officers recommended the application for approval but a local member did not like it. The main reason he recommended refusal was he&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[A hotly-contested plan to &#8216;re-power&#8217; a five-turbine wind farm near Ulverston has been given full support by Barrow planners. However, three of the turbines fall within South Lakeland District Council jurisdiction, who narrowly rejected the plan earlier this year. It means developers will have to successfully appeal SLDC&#8217;s decision before being given the green light. The plans, which would see the removal of five existing 53-metre-high turbines replaced by ones nearly twice that size, were unanimously approved at a packed&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Empirica Investments Limited wanted to put up the turbine at Ewanrigg Hall Farm. Broughton Moor Parish Council, Friends of Rural Cumbria’s Environment and Westnewton Action Group all objected to the plans.

The Stonewall Hill Conservation Group received renewed cause for optimism – despite seeing its objections against the proposed development near Lingen being quashed by a judicial review hearing last month.

The Moor House wind farm site, on the outskirts of Darlington, was discussed at a meeting of Sadberge Parish Council, where a number of concerns about the future operation and monitoring of the development were raised.

The proposed wind turbine will be 74 metres in height and situated on Bramshall Farm, in close proximity to local business Ashcroft Park. Jamie Pagett, owner of Ashcroft Park, has taken the first 500 objections to the council planning committee. Approximately 1,000 objections have been made to the proposal so far. The objections voice concerns about the negative impacts&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Planners are powerless to halt an influx of wind turbines in Allerdale – admitting quantity alone is not enough. The claim came at an inquiry into the “disproportionate” number of wind turbine applications being received by the borough in comparison with other regions of the county. Planning manager Kevin Kerrigan told Allerdale council’s scrutiny sub committee: “It’s clear from some appeal decisions that there are certain areas within Allerdale where cumulative impact is now a real issue, but we can’t&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.]]></description>

Last year Arcus Renewable Energy Consulting Ltd was awarded planning permission to put up two turbines on land at Church Farm, south of Gypsy Lane, in Woolley.

Developer EDF Energy Renewables plans to build 14, 126-metre masts on farmland at Bullington Cross, north of Winchester. But wind turbines, whose spinning blades are about the same size as a passenger jet wing, disrupt radar systems. Radar operators find it hard to distinguish between low-flying aircraft and wind turbines, causing confusion for civil and military air traffic controllers.

Able UK wants to build a £450m marine energy park off North Killingholme, creating 4,000 jobs, but must compensate for the loss of mudflats rich in wildlife, which it plans to do by creating new wetlands on the north bank of the estuary at Paull.
