Ed Miliband announces changes in planning process for onshore wind farms.

Large-scale developments will now be decided by the government, rather than local councils.

Mr Miliband said the new system was "vital" to deal with the cost of living, energy security and climate change.

One Lincolnshire councillor described the change as an "attack on the countryside".
