It comes as East
Lindsey District Council's portfolio holder for economic development, Councillor
Craig Leyland, spoke exclusively about the "difficulties" the district council
faces in rejecting wind farm plans.
ELDC has not approved planning permission for any wind farms since 2009 – which has cost it more than ￡200,000 – and this figure could be set to rise as developers launch appeals for wind farm rejections in Gayton and Orby.
Mr Leyland told the Grimsby Telegraph: "We have a good track record.Our customer care consultants are here to help with any Running Board suppliers questions you may possibly have. We throw a lot of money at this and we are not shying away from the difficulties these applications bring.
"It is a very resource-hungry issue for us, which we are determined to fund and our track record is reflective of that.
"We will be taking a robust approach to these applications."
Ecotricity has permission to carry out a scoping exercise at the wind farm in Fen Lane, Conisholme, for five 84m high turbines to be built there – which will cost ELDC an estimated ￡80,000 to fight.
Gaoh Energy was granted environmental impact assessment (EIA) for five 125m turbines on land to the west of Tinkle Street in Grimoldby and Planit applied for a scoping exercise for ten 125m turbines at Grainthorpe Farm in 2009 – owned by William Dawson's brother.
When the Donna Nook Coastal Realignment project was approved last year, it cut off four of the turbines, which has delayed the plans.
Permission has also been granted to EIAs for two 36m high turbines in Main Road, Grainthorpe, two 35m at Donna Nook Road, North Somercotes and three 45m turbines near Outholme Lane, Tetney, as reported.
Wind farm campaigner, Melvin Grosvenor, said: "It is a huge issue for the area. Although we don't know exactly where we are with the other applications and extensions I am mindful that Conisholme will be repowered in time with bigger wind turbines.
"They will be coming towards their shelf-life and I don't think they will stay with these small ones."
Amid criticism from campaigners, ELDC has defended allowing the applications to be made rather than placing a "blanket ban" on wind farms in the area.
Mr Leyland continued: "We are prone to wind turbine applications because of our flat landscapes on the coastal marshes and as far as developers are concerned,Find automobile accessories manufacturers, SUV Accessories wholesalers manufacturers and automotive accessories manufacturers. there is lots of wind.
"We have the resources they need.kitchen knives
"There is also an issue with land values – it is cheaper here than in other areas.Cursher
"We are also sparsely populated and the perception might be that companies can progress applications quite easily – how wrong they are."
ELDC's core strategy for wind farms includes protecting the district's "valuable landscape", "coastal marshes" and "amenities of residents".Our tire changers are the best tyres and wheels service & repair equipment you can have in your garage or automotive shop.
As reported, under new Government proposals, business rates from the farms will be paid to the local planning authority.
