The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Bob Neill, has rejected Parliamentary calls for Planning Inspectors to require the Planning Inspectorate to refuse appeals from wind farm developers if there is 'unanimous community opposition to the proposals.'
The Minister stated, "The Planning Inspectorate has an important role to play as the arbiter of potential conflicts between the interests of individuals, or local communities, and the needs of a nation. It would therefore be inappropriate to direct the Planning Inspectorate to refuse a planning appeal solely because of community opposition because there may still be strong national or local policy support for the wind farm."
