PLANS to build a wind turbine by the M4, near Swindon, have been blown off course after a clash between green energy evangelists and countryside campaigners.
The plan by landowners Matt and Rachael Partridge was to build the turbine near Membury services - but protests from horse trainers, glider pilots, and countryside campaigners saw it turned down by West Berkshire District Council.

It said it was disappointed by the decision.
