West Coast Energy has been successful in obtaining planning
permission for Carsington Pastures Wind Farm, near Wirksworth,
Derbyshire. This is the first wind farm to be granted planning
permission in Derbyshire, following a planning inquiry in July.
Carsington Wind Energy Ltd, a subsidiary company of West Coast
Energy Ltd welcomed the decision of the Planning Inspectorate to
grant planning permission for its four turbine wind farm
development at Carsington Pastures in Derbyshire.
With an anticipated installed capacity of 10 Megawatts the wind
farm will make an important contribution to the East Midlands
targets for electricity production from renewable energy and to the
Governments climate change policy commitments.
Steve Salt, Planning Director for West Coast Energy said:
"We are pleased that the inspector has accepted that Carsington
Pastures is an appropriate location for Derbyshire's first wind
farm."
"We are looking forward to developing the project at the
earliest opportunity and to working with the local community to
deliver the benefits of the development"
