Check if Fife is on the DfT list of Officially Safeguarded aerodromes as this might help. If not, then an objection on aviation safety grounds could still result in intervention from above, if the LPA are minded to approve despite the objections.

The key is penetration (no, not that!) but an turbine that's above the obstacle surface. A classic is the Inner Horizontal which is 45m above the runway. (Simplistic explanation)

It's all in that CAP168 so worth a look.

Of course if the aerodrome decides to relinquish it's licence under the latest proposals........
