The wind farm rebellion blows across Britain as campaigners take heart from village’s victory

The wind farm rebellion gathered pace yesterday following a landmark High Court ruling.

Campaigners are taking heart from a judge’s decision on Tuesday that the right of villagers to preserve their landscape is more important than renewable energy targets.

Mrs Justice Lang said that four 350ft turbines would harm the character and appearance of Hemsby on the edge of the Norfolk Broads.

Lawyers believe the ruling is a significant test case for planning rules brought in this March and could help more than 300 local groups fighting wind farm proposals.
