I'm sure such cases exist, but where I'm from people don't really get paid to host turbines, maybe companies at times. They dislike them because it affects the view in the area, and especially if you live very close to them the blades can cause noticeable flickering shadows. That latter point has a lot more weight to it in my eyes, but people do really care about the former as well, and it's kind of hard to push on people when they live there and not you.

I'm taking from the Australian context where someone always owns the land and it's cheaper to buy rights to place and service a turbine then to buy land

I suppose you live somewhere the land can be leased from government
