Plan for more turbines at Little Raith windfarm ‘beggars belief’/The Courier

Anti-windfarm campaigners in Fife say it “beggars belief” that the first commercial windfarm in the kingdom could almost double.

The Courier reported on Wednesday that Kennedy Renewables is taking steps towards increasing the number of turbines at Little Raith farm, near Cowdenbeath.

The site, adjoining Mosmorran petrochemical plant, is already home to nine turbines, and the firm hopes to add another seven.

Graham Lang, the chairman of Scotland Against Spin, said: “This application beggars belief. Widely regarded as one of the worst windfarms in Scotland, Little Raith should never have been built. Its harmful impacts were never properly recognised.
