By CONTROVERSIAL plans to erect a massive wind turbine in a supermarket car park have been given the go-ahead.
Retail giants Asda are keen to go green at their flagship superstore in Kirkcaldy, Fife.
But locals have described the move as “a disgrace” and are threatening a boycott of the popular store.
The turbine’s blades will span almost 15 feet across and will provide enough energy to power half the store’s checkouts for six months.
The 19-metre white and grey installation, which is to be positioned next to the supermarket’s petrol station, has eventually been granted planning consent from Fife Council.
But fears have been raised by furious locals who live close to the store about possible noise pollution from the turbine at nights.
