Wind farm approved after radar deal reached
01.03.08
Plans to build a wind farm at Tween Bridge, Thorne, have been given the go-ahead after a public inquiry. Energy Minister Malcolm Wicks announced power firm E.on can build 22 turbines at the site yesterday.
The scheme was initially opposed by green campaigners and Robin Hood Airport, which said the turbines could interfere with radar. However, it is understood an agreement has been reached between their airport and the power firm over a new radar system that would solve the problem.
The Campaign to Protect Rural England also opposed the scheme, saying it would cause harm to the landscape setting and tranquillity of a nationally-valued area. E.on says The 66MW project will generate enough clean, green energy to power 26,500 homes.
