Extended description

The story of how a small village community with the help for their Member of Parliament took on the commercial giants behind a controversial wind farm application.

In February 2008 the energy company Eon announced that it wanted to build a massive wind farm near the charming rural villages of Kelmarsh, Maidwell and Naseby in Northamptonshire.
The wind farm would introduce the very real threat of health issues to local residents, destroy the scenic setting of several very important Grade 1 listed historic buildings and destroy the pristine views across the battlefield of Naseby where Oliver Cromwell crushed the army of King Charles I in 1645. Local residents opposed the plans and succeeded in persuading Daventry Council to refuse planning permission for the wind farm. This decision was overturned on appeal by a government inspector and permission was given in 2012.
In this book the local MP, Chris Heaton-Harris, explains what happened, why it happened and why it must not be all.. (Read more) The story of how a small village community with the help for their Member of Parliament took on the commercial giants behind a controversial wind farm application.
