Angry Conservatives have claimed the Scottish Government is planning a multi-million pound “money grab” from the Borders by charging for work undertaken by the local council on wind farm applications.

The proposals are to raise the fees charged for major planning applications
under section 36 of the Electricity Act – currently capped at £18,000, of
which £12,000 goes to the local authority – to £190,000.
