A 20-metre-tall wind turbine can be built in Denholme, with Bradford Council deciding the presence of other nearby turbines made it a suitable location.

The application is for Shay Farm in Brighouse and Denholme Road. And despite a recent report revealing the council had refused half of all turbine bids in recent years, officers felt this one deserved the go-ahead.

In approving the scheme, planning officer Peter Timbrell said: “The locality here is considered to be capable of accommodating further developments of this type in preference to the open, undeveloped moors or areas of significant tourism value.”
