Putting wind turbines in their place - 2004 - Town & Country Planning 73(2) February 2004, 60-63(4) .
Government targets for renewable energy are under threat as many planning applications have been turned down following objections over their possible detrimental visual impact. Few planning authorities have clear criteria for properly assessing such applications.
