Baydon Meadow Wind Turbine - Refused on Appeal (Decision Date: 6th September 2012)
The proposed development was: Erection of a wind turbine up to 35m tip-height above existing ground level for a period of 25 years and erection of an anemometry mast of up to 35m in height for a period of 18 months.
The Inspector concluded that the harm this scheme would cause on this part of the landscape of the AONB would be sufficiently substantial to clearly outweigh the benefits it would bring. The proposal is unacceptable.
