Good news for Pendle’s countryside – the planning appeal for three wind turbines at Jerusalem Farm, Skipton Old Road, Colne, was turned down on cumulative visual impact grounds.

However, an application for a 48m overall height turbine off Coal Pit Lane, Trawden, will come before councillors soon.

Such a large industrial structure will obviously have a visual impact for miles around.
