Lancaster City Council planners gave the controversial plans for two 125m turbines approval at a meeting on Tuesday.

Resident Debbie Smith said: “Lancaster is a beautiful historic city and this will ruin it.

“I hope to get a group together to try and put a stop to this. It’s an outrage.”

Work is expected to begin shortly with the turbines set to be fully operational by the end of the year.
