The RAF is aiming to shoot down plans for a massive Berwickshire windfarm which would be the size of 100 football pitches.
Fred Olsen Renewables has submitted an application for Scottish Ministers’ consent to construct and operate Lees Hill Renewable Energy Park at a site on Langton Lees Farm to the south of Hardens Hill.
This will cover a significant proportion of the area between the Duns to Longformacus road and the Duns to Westruther road.
The proposal consists of six 200m wind turbines, almost 70 hectares (equivalent to 100 football pitches) of reflective solar panels, a battery storage system made of large containers holding batteries, an onsite substation and temporary construction compounds.
But the plans have been rejected by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) who have raised concerns regarding its potential impact on national security. https://www.scotsman.com/…/why-the-raf-is-objecting-to…
