There is a department within the MOD that deals exclusively with responding to planning applications for wind turbines and wind farms. Depending on if any of the ‘trigger factors’ are realised in a planning application the local authority is legally obliged to consult the MOD and ascertain whether they intend to object or otherwise. That is not to say that they automatically object to every proposal, quite the opposite, each case is rigorously researched and considered before responding to the local authority. I’m pretty sure they never object on ‘aesthetic’ grounds.
In your case I imagine that given the location of the proposal the MOD will be consulted (depending on the size of the proposed turbine).
