A round of applause broke out at a Scottish Borders Council planning committee today after a wind farm related bid was rejected amid grave concerns over its impact on wildlife, residents and the environment.
The council’s Planning & Building Standards Committee refused an application for erection of a temporary lattice anemometry mast up to 90 metres high on land south of Deanburnhaugh in Hawick.
The mast was proposed to examine the economic viability of the proposed Mid Hill wind farm, comprising of up to 42 turbines, with tip heights up to 200m.
Refusal of the mast bid now casts uncertainty over the future of the wind farm proposal. https://www.midlothianview.com/news/applause-in-borders-council-chamber-as-wind-farm-related-bid-refused?fbclid=IwY2xjawJXufxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHR9dDAaChA5CVV7bddWC6XV89L0vApqO7zE00oux1-aIJuX0OHeg5rCjLQ_aem_MYNiy78TuxLXEWKV1WW_UA
