Abbey Mains wind turbine plan is rejected – East Lothian Courier

Councillors have backed an earlier decision made by officials to reject
plans for a wind turbine east of Haddington.

In May, local authority officers turned down JK Playfair and Sons’s bid for
a 34.2-metre-tall turbine at Abbey Mains but the matter then came before
the council’s Local Review Body last Thursday.

There, it met the same fate, with councillors unanimously agreeing to
reject the scheme.

Councillor Peter MacKenzie agreed that the turbine would be intrusive and
that it should be turned down.

People, said councillor Jim Gillies, had differing views on the subject of
wind turbines.
