RES has confirmed it will not appeal Rutland County Council’s refusal of its proposed nine-turbine Woolfox Airfield wind farm.
Rutland County Council refused permission for the Hertfordshire developer’s wind farm last December.
The project was intended to form part of a renewable energy hub at the former airfield and would have generated renewable energy for around 13,000 homes each year.
RES development manager Andrew Adams said: “RES is disappointed that we cannot proceed with a wind farm at this location. We would like to thank everyone who participated in, and supported the project, during the consultation process.”
The planning consent granted in March for a solar farm on the Woolfox site remains in place. RES is currently considering how and when this could be delivered.
