Wind farm appeal date set – The Herald

UP to two weeks have been set aside to hear the Scottish Government’s
appeal against a court ruling on a large wind farm development on Shetland.

Lady Clark of Calton quashed consent for Viking Energy’s wind farm
following a judicial review brought by campaigners at the Court of Session,
because the company had no electricity generating licence. Ministers also
failed to take proper account of obligations under the European Wild Birds
Directive 2009.

Three judges in the Inner House of the Court of Session will hear the
Scottish Government’s appeal between February 25 and 28 and a from March 4
to 7, 2014.
