Mr Kassem Shakarchi hoped he would be the first to be approved for a domestic wind turbine installation on his 7th floor penthouse in central London:

"It was like a personal race with Mr. Cameron. However we thought we lost this personal race to be the first when Mr. Cameron fitted his wind turbine to his house in March. Unfortunately, he had to take down his turbine because it was fitted incorrectly and not according to his planning approval. So transpired that we were officially the first to install four wind turbines on a residential building in the City of London. "
