A decision to build a single wind turbine ‘in unspoilt landscape’ in Norfolk has been quashed by the High Court.
Proposals for the 86.5 metre turbine at Pond Farm in Bodham were rejected by North Norfolk District Council in August 2012. The project was allowed on appeal last April.
However, deputy High Court judge Robin Purchas QC ruled that the planning inspector did not comply with planning policy relating to landscape and heritage sites.
The turbine was to be sited near Cromer Ridge, one of the highest points in north Norfolk and would have affected the setting of a number of listed buildings in the area, including the Jacobean Grade l listed Barningham Hall and Baconsthorpe Castle.
