Representing BLOT - Belvoir Locals Opposing Turbines - Tina Douglass questioned whether several of the assessments were based on plans for 10 or seven turbines at the site at Thackson's Well, near Normanton and Long Bennington.
At one stage, it lo
oked as though the inquiry could be called off, but after an adjournment for checks to be made, inspector David Lavender heard from representatives of developer Infinergy, who confirmed the correct information had been given to consultants carrying out the assessments.
Under dispute were the ecology assessment, an ornothological assessment and an assessment of the site's flood risk.
Ms Douglass questioned whether the Environment Agency had been made aware that some parts of the site are in a flood risk zone, including the electricity substation.
After speaking with the agency during the adjournment, Infinergy's advocate Richard Glover confirmed it has no problem with the flood risk.
The inspector has asked to see written confirmation from each consultant before the end of the inquiry next week and decided to continue with the proceedings.
The inspector he will now hear representations from BLOT, then from individual objectors and supporters followed by a discussion about potential planning conditions.
On Thursday and Friday, the inquiry will hear Infinergy's representations and summing up should be carried out the following Wednesday.
After the inquiry is closed the inspector will consider the evidence presented and announce his decision in due course.
