THE developers of a proposed wind farm that was rejected by Borders councillors have accused local authorities of speaking “with forked tongues”. At a meeting of Scottish Borders Council’s planning committee last week, members opposed plans to build a 45-turbine wind farm across the region and Dumfries and Galloway. Following the decision, projects director at Community Windpower – which submitted the proposals for the Faw Side wind farm – says that “no one is standing up for the climate”. “It’s disappointing that local authorities are not properly recognising the Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2019 and the legally binding targets it has set for Scotland,” said Gillian Cropper, of Community Windpower.
A Borders resident says they are “worried” about plans to build a wind farm near their home. Last month, this newspaper reported that E Power Limited will apply for planning permission to build the farm at Ditcher Law north of Oxton. But now a village resident says the proposal to build 15 wind turbines is “not really suitable” for the area.
