Committee accused over cost

“fortune” after decisions on two windfarm developments in Caithness were
postponed for councillors to visit the sites.

Highland Council’s north planning application committee met yesterday to

building standards, Malcolm MacLeod, recommended they grant.

But councillors instead voted 8-6 in favour of postponing their decision in
order to visit the proposed sites first.
