Plans for a controversial wind farm in the Scottish Borders look set to be blocked, after the local council challenged a Scottish government decision in the courts.
The government’s energy consents unit (ECU) granted planning permission for eight turbines up to 200m (656ft) tall at Ditcher Law near Lauder in February.
It overruled the local authority’s objection regarding the adverse impact it would have on the local people and the landscape.
Following preliminary hearings, the government is not now contesting the legal challenge and a joint motion for the planning permission to be quashed is now before the Court of Session. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdr45vg4jxro?fbclid=IwY2xjawSihfNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe4HntVpw4JnHz547j9nVTX93tV5PysOhTliIeNwZeUXZrb4PG41Pl3fmIITs_aem_-1oQSesPvu68A5NgY7Kvxg
