The commission has offered a contribution of £300,000 to cover the garden's historic capital debt. The continuation will then mean that a walled garden at the site can go ahead with a grant of £600,000 from the commission. The gardens will also be able to apply for a further £750,000 in capital support.

In brief: Plan for wind turbines opposed by Open Spaces Society

23 April 2004

It claims that government reports in the 1940s recognised the area as being of national park quality and if it had been designated a park, the turbines would be illegal. The Council for National Parks and Friends of the Earth also oppose the plan.
