The High Court in London ruled against an earlier decision by the UK Planning Inspectorate to approve the four-turbine Barnwell Manor Wind Farm in Northamptonshire.
The wind farm had been opposed on heritage grounds by high-profile organisations The National Trust and English Heritage.
After the judgement industry body RenewableUK warned: “It would be wrong to suggest that any kind of precedent has been set on this occasion, as each wind farm application is considered on a case by case basis.
“The fact that this application went to the High Court shows that, at times, decisions are finely balanced and difficult to reach.”
