A wind turbine could be built at Bristol International Airport (BIA) to provide energy for the terminal building.

It would about 65 ft high, lower than the airfield's light columns, and would form part of the airports plan to improve energy efficiency.

Airport bosses will undergo talks with North Somerset Council and are hoping to have the structure in place by the end of the year.

BIA spokesman James Gore said: "The size we are looking at is not huge and we believe it should not cause too many problems. Hopefully we can get the decision soon.
