Norfolk wind turbine approval quashed


A decision to build a wind turbine "in unspoilt landscape" in Norfolk has been overturned by the High Court.
 
The 284ft turbine in Bodham was rejected by North Norfolk DC in August 2012, after it received 1,400 objections.
 
However, it was subsequently approved by the planning inspector on appeal last April.
 
Judge Robin Purchas, QC, ruled the planning inspector had not complied with part of the Planning Act which required him to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the settings of listed buildings.
