Galloway Hills wind farm heads to public inquiry – BBC

Published by SAS Volunteer on

Councillors have agreed to oppose a wind farm in the Galloway Hills – triggering a public inquiry into the plans.

Opponents of the 14-turbine Blair Hill project near Newton Stewart gathered outside Dumfries and Galloway Council offices to highlight their concerns.

Planning committee councillors agreed to object to the plans due to concerns over the impact on a regional scenic area (RSA).

Developer RES said it was disappointed the local authority had opposed what it described as a “well-designed project”. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn51en6zkydo?fbclid=IwY2xjawNwb1hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvRN9wmgnWeP2MlhzT2BMf2yKj-52Wr9xLWKkHwJG61xUTnxTxw9BzRwpNE1_aem_Pb93QwEU4svM-0zfvnlPHw
