Campaigners against a controversial wind turbine scheme at a Norfolk sports car manufacturer have won their latest legal bid to get a planning decision overturned.
Objectors welcomed the news after it emerged that a group of local residents had won the right to challenge the construction of three 120metre masts at Lotus Cars.
Appeal judges have quashed a district council's decision to approve a wind farm because of its unusual voting procedures.
South Norfolk District Council backed the wind farm, even though an area planning committee voted against it by 5:3. The application was referred to the main planning committee because the majority required for the area committee to make a decision was two thirds or more.
