The approval comes even after stiff opposition from the various sections including nearby residents, which argue the project will destroy the farmland in the area.

The project will result in the fourth largest onshore wind farm in England. The project site in located near the constituency of John Hayes, the Tory Energy Minister, who has recently opposed the project saying the country, has enough onshore wind farms already. Mr Hayes said that country already has sufficient number wind turbines in the planning stages to meet the targets set by the government for generating wind energy and said that he can look to protect the green land of the UK.
