The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King's Lynn

28th April 2008

QEH turned down

Our application to build a single turbine at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn, was turned down today by West Norfolk Council's Development Control Board. We had put in a request to defer the decision for a few weeks while we worked with the MoD and the local Air Ambulance to make sure they were 100% happy with the project. The decision went against us by just one vote.

"We're disappointed with the decision. The two objections raised to the project could have both been resolved in a few weeks. Both the MoD and Air Ambulance supported our application to defer and confirmed to the Council that their issues could be resolved in a short time. The committee had it in their power to defer the application and the vote was a close one, 7-8 against. It's a shameful waste of time and money that we now either have to resubmit or go to appeal."
