    Permission for wind turbines to be built on the east Kent coast has been refused following a consultation.

    Ecotricity wanted to build five 393ft (120m) turbines and an electricity sub-station at East Langdon, near Dover.

    Dover District Council received hundreds of objection letters to the scheme but Ecotricity said the turbines were essential.

    The Planning Inspectorate refused an appeal submitted before the district planning committee had made a decision.

    Opponents said the turbines would destroy the rural landscape, affect tourism, create noise and disturb wildlife.

    The council set up a relay system and marquee to accommodate the number of people attending a consultation meeting earlier this year
