Description
The Peak District National Park Authority has attacked plans to build wind turbines at Carsington in the High Court.The site is just outside the park and adjoins the Carsington Water beauty spot. Locals who enjoy walking the area, which includes the High Peak Trail, the Limestone Way and local paths, have condemned the scheme. The authority has always supported renewable energy schemes in principle, but the Peak park authority fears the giant turbines will have a harmful impact on an otherwise protected landscape. The authority and Derbyshire Dales District Council are jointly asking Lord Justice Carnwath to quash a planning inspector's decision last September to approve the proposal. | |||
