Thursday, 3pm - A DECISION on whether a wind farm can be built north of Grantham could be made on Tuesday.
Planning officers at South Kesteven District Council have recommended plans to build 10 410ft turbines near Bottesford and Long Bennington be approved.


The council's development control committee will consider the matter on Tuesday and have set aside five-and-a-half-hours in which to make a decision.


If a decision cannot be reached, the committee will re-convene the following Monday.


But anti wind-farm campaign group BLOT this week formally objected to senior planning officer Kevin Cartwirght's report for the committee, calling it "biased" towards the developer Infinergy.


Chairman Pandora Mawer said: "It contains no analysis or critique of Infinergy's claims or the Environmental Statement and devotes just one side of A4 to visual impact, which is a major issue."


No one from SKDC was prepared to comment on BLOT's objection to the report.


Infinergy's chief executive Charles Sandham said: "This is an important opportunity for South Kesteven to make their contribution to the mitigation of the effects of climate change."


Tuesday's meeting will be in the Guildhall Ballroom, St Peter's Hill, Grantham, at 10.30am. It is expected to last until 4pm.
