Seighford and Church Eaton ward Councillor Stephen Leighton has called for the proposal to be decided by the council's planning committee.
He said: "I would like the committee to take a closer look at this and its impact on the rural location. The main concern is the height of this turbine and its overall size."
The board will discuss the matter tomorrow however the council's planning officers have recommended the application be given planning consen

It's less than 150% bigger so should pass no problem.I would think the blades would be overhanging the motorway ?

"TURBINE WEB THIS ONE" Is that Staffordshire Newsletterese for "use this picture off the web of four medium size turbines to illustrate an article about two large turbines"?
It's less than 150% bigger so should pass no problem.
400ft would be fine, if the land is owned by an associate of the council. Out of the question, otherwise.
