PROTESTORS finally got the outcome they were hoping for this month – seven years after plans were submitted for a windfarm near Presteigne.

Powys County Council’s planning committee unanimously refused to allow three 90-metre turbines, a 60-metre mast and a control building to be built at Llanfinhangel Nant Melan, New Radnor.

The application, made in 2002, drew significant complaints and sparked various protests from householders and conservation groups concerned about site traffic and various other impacts.
