According to council officers, the tallest turbines would reach 200 metres. The applicant states that the development would create enough energy to power over 325,000 homes, as well as creating 200 construction jobs. Mid Berwickshire councillor Donald Moffat voiced his support for the turbines during the meeting. “Landscape character doesn’t pay the bills,” he said. “If it was up to the local public in the area, they would be supporting it. The younger generation think they’re [wind farms] great.” SBC’s views will be passed onto the government’s Energy Consents Unit.
