In September 2008 Nuon was refused planning permission, to site seven commercial turbines around
Poplar Lane in Bearstone Shropshire, by NSDC.
Nuon’s appeal against this decision was denied by the planning inspectorate in July 2009.
Whilst Nuon will not officially withdraw their interest in the area, the leases on the farm land will most likely expire at some point next year. Furthermore Nuon no longer lists Poplar Lane on their web-site as a project.
