Veto On Rural Turbine EXpansion
87. I accept that the proposed wind farm would make a contribution towards the overall supply of renewable energy, and contribute towards the regional
target. However, with regard to Appeal A (the wind farm), in terms of appearance in this setting the turbines would be seen as large, alien features in their surroundings. The nature and topography of this pleasant tract of countryside is such that it would not be capable of absorbing this wind turbine development satisfactorily. In terms of the effect on residential amenity, the
residents of College Fields Cottages, Dorrington Hall, Dorrington Hall Farm and The Grove would experience a marked and unacceptable reduction in their amenity. As the effect on listed buildings and conservation areas, Iconsider that only the setting of Bellaport Old Hall, within the appeal site, would suffer a detrimental effect as a result of the development
.
88. As to Appeal B (the access), although the details are satisfactory in principle, the proposal is not severable from the scheme, either physically or functionally and is therefore not acceptable.
89. In reaching these conclusions I have had regard to all other matters raised,including the suggested 25 year life of the development, the suggested minor re-siting of the turbines (‘micro-siting’), and the proposal to develop a wind farm in the Maer Hills. However, none is sufficient to outweigh the considerations I deem to be paramount.

Residents celebrated the dismissal of Nuon’s wind turbine proposal with fireworks and a bonfire - October 24th 2009
The planning application, by Nuon, to site 7 commercial turbines around Poplar Lane Bearstone Shropshire was refused by NSDC in September 2008, and the appeals refused in July 2009
Nuon has promised to let Vortex and the residents know as soon as they have decided whether to either come forward with a revised application or withdraw completely - but to date we have heard nothing.
The residents of the area, led by Vortex, remain convinced that any revised planning application would be unable to overcome the considerations that the Planning Inspector found to be paramount and would therefore be unjustifiable and unreasonable.
Until Nuon make their decision our lives remain, as they have been for over 4 years now, on hold! Nuon’s decision will be published on this web site as soon as information becomes available.
The VORTEX 2010 AGM was held on Friday 23rd April
