Cricket stumps bidto build turbine

Plans for a 25-metre wind turbine have been bowled out by a village cricket club.

A planning inspector said the turbine at Harper Barn, Bradshaw Lane, would be almost directly in the eyeline of a batsman on some wickets at Bradshaw, Halifax.

Planning inspector Philip Major blocked that scheme, saying: "Part of the tower and the whole of the moving blade would be visible above the sight screen behind a bowler's arm.”
