npower renewables plans for a wind farm at Bradwell-On-Sea were approved by a Planning Inspector appointed by the Government Department for Communities and Local Government in September 2007.
The decision signals a major boost for the 2010 renewable energy targets for both Essex and the East of England.
The proposals will see ten wind turbines each with a rated capacity of between 1.5 and 2.5 megawatts and a maximum height of 121m constructed on farm land to the South of Bradwell-on-Sea.
Once constructed the wind farm will power on average between 8,100 and 10,600 local homes, and will make an invaluable contribution to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in the UK.
