THE skyline in Immingham is set to be transformed if a proposal by ABP goes ahead.

The ports giant has unveiled plans to install three giant turbines on its docks estate in the town.

Measuring as high as 150 metres from ground to top of the blade, the turbines will be similar to the four proposed at its other site near Grimsby's dock tower.

In advance of submitting a formal planning application, the company's agents are carrying out consultations and research on any potential impact - for instance, on the wealth of birdlife that feeds on the mudflats of the Humber.
