BORDERS residents finally got the outcome they were hoping for this month - seven years after controversial 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 at a meeting on February 2.

The application, made in 2002 before N Power became the Cornwall Light and Power Company, drew significant complaints and sparked various protests from householders and conservation groups concerned about site traffic and various other impacts.
