A PLANNING inspector has told Wiltshire Council to consult the public on a controversial amendment to the Core Strategy that could spell the end of wind farm development in the county.

Wind turbines that are greater than 150 metres high must be three kilometres away from homes and those that up to 50 metres high must be one kilometre away.
