Wind turbines planned in Shropshire

A giant 150ft wind turbine could be built near Market Drayton to power a farm, it emerged today.

Bosses at Bawhill Farm in Adderley are behind plans for the 55kw wind turbine. They say it will be used to supply renewable electricity to the farm and farmhouse.

It comes as bosses of Winston Farm in Tetchill, near Ellesmere, have submitted similar plans to build a 119ft turbine.

And Wigley & Sons has also submitted a planning application to Shropshire Council for a 164ft turbine at Dandyford Farm in Hordley.
