PLANS for two 126 metre high wind turbines near Clifton look set to be turned down today.
The turbines, off Lenton Lane, are two of three proposed by the University of Nottingham.
The other, next to the River Trent in Beeston, was refused permission in October last year.
Nearly 500 people responded to a consultation on the plans, with 207 in support and 269 against, with the main concerns being noise, the view, and the impact on wildlife.
The city council's development management team has recommended the plans be turned down for four reasons:The development would impact on a future residential site identified in housing plans/li> The impact on the airport's radar/li> It would be "overbearing" /li> It would have a "detrimental impact" on sport in the area./li>
The plans will be discussed at the planning committee today at 2.30pm.
