Campaign group to consider options after revelation that noise recommendations were suppressed
STAPLE recently declared that it did not have the financial capability to attempt to over-turn the Inspector's 19th November decision to uphold an appeal by Npower Renewables to install five 410ft high wind turbines on land at Earl's Hall Farm near Clacton-on-Sea. It is now seriously investigating its options in the context of new evidence (unveiled in the Sunday Times on 13th December) which shows that recommendations by professional acoustics consultants to introduce tougher noise regulations for wind turbines, were suppressed.

Inspector allows developer's appeal
The Public Inspector, Mr Paul Griffiths, has given the go-ahead for a wind power station to be built at Earl’s Hall Farm near Clacton-on-Sea . In his report following the Public Inquiry which took place this summer, he has upheld the appeal by Npower Renewables against the unanimous decision (in June 2008) of Tendring District Council to refuse planning permission.
