Objections to Wind farms – Press and Journal

SIR – Mary Young’s letter regarding aviation safety was extremely worrying.
When planning councillors think that they know more than the experts at the
Ministry of Defence regarding the safe siting of wind turbines you have to
ask ‘are they living on the same planet as the rest of us?’

As the SNP party seems on course for another term in Holyrood, may I ask
Nicola Sturgeon, if she is returned as first minister, why a valid MoD
objection, that the applicant has been unable to address satisfactorily,
does not mean an automatic refusal and no route to appeal? Also why members
of her party believe they have the expertise to argue with the
professionals? I trust she will be pulling these councillors into line.
