A planning application read: It will also act as a landmark for the area and will encourage people to think about green issues.

The application also states that the turbines will benefit the environment while also reducing energy costs for the company.

Town and district councillor Ray Ghent said that a planning application for a turbine at Smeaton Close in Aylesbury has already been granted planning permission.

Tesco Regional Corporate Affairs Manager Felix Gummer said: They will be one metre higher than the store and will run absolutely silently.

Gummer added: We have done tests on the site and it means there is enough wind.

It’s part of a package of measures which we are rolling out to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Gummer said that the company had achieved their target of reducing their carbon dioxide emission by half from 2000 to 2008.
