SBC poised to object to major renewable energy park bid -Peebleshire News

Published by SAS Volunteer on

SCOTTISH Borders Council is poised to formally object to proposals for a major renewable energy park in the Borders.
Fred Olsen Renewables submitted an application to Scottish ministers for consent to construct and operate Lees Hill Energy Park, on land south of Black Hill Wind Farm at Longformacus.
The proposal consists of up to six wind turbines which would be up to 200m in tip height, solar PV arrays and battery storage units, with generation capacity between 100 MW and 200 MW.
As the relevant planning authority, Scottish Borders Council has been consulted over the application.
When members of the council’s Planning & Building Standards Committee meet on Monday (March 31) they will be recommended to object to the application. https://www.peeblesshirenews.com/news/25040374.sbc-poised-object-major-renewable-energy-park-bid/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJSUwZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHaTLuPRKjtcyp410VrYHD10cDho5-9S6nGAtw-OGup8zLXjm2-bnqMGj2g_aem_ibmDlCjV38fGBtQggb_S_w
