Delighted the windfarm has NOT been approved. It was never a nice thing to destroy the lives of many homeowners for the sake of a financial profit. There are many other suitable locations for windmills that don't ruin lives. It states under the title of this article that the development was rejected purely on visual impact , however this is not the whole truth, but rather a biased descriptor created by our webmaster (Stephen) who was in favour of the development, and who wishes to make the decision sound like a poor one from ignorant councillors who are stuck in the past. As I understand it, the developers took more than just visual impact into acount. They also looked at the effect on nearby residences, the knock-on effect for further applications, the history and heritage of the area, the industialisation of the area, the environmental impact, to name but a few. This decision is a victory for common sense, concern, and decency over greed. You don't see this happen often, and those against the development should rejoice in this victory.
