A CONSTANT battle against windfarm developments has descended into a “war of attrition” in Dumfries and Galloway, villagers have claimed.
Corsock and Kirkpatrick Durham Community Council members have hit out ahead of yet another row over planning permission for wind turbines.
They claim that 93% of residents in Corsock and Kirkpatrick Durham are opposed to further windfarm development in their area. This comes after serial planning applicants, Energiekontor, launched yet another bid for changes to its windfarm proposals – seeking bigger turbines in the area.
The German-based firm has previously been accused of “gaming the system” for its regular tinkering with developments which already have planning permission.
This week, the company will be back in front of Dumfries and Galloway Council’s planning committee, requesting permission to increase the height of turbines at Fell Windfarm from 130m to 220m.
