Abstract
Residents challenged an Inspector decision granting planning permissions for the installation of a wind turbine. The Inspector had found that the benefits of renewable energy production and benefits to the rural economy outweighed the harm of “inappropriate development.” The court upheld the Inspector’s decision, finding that the Inspector’s reasoning was acceptable despite the limited energy generation capacity of the turbine.
