Cloich Forest wind farm opposition agreed

Councillors have agreed to oppose plans for an 18-turbine wind farm in Peeblesshire.

The final say on the Cloich Forest development near Eddleston will lie with the Scottish government.

Three community councils had lodged objections to the proposals by Cloich Wind Farm LLP.

Planning officials advised Scottish Borders Council to object to the wind farm proposals on the grounds of impact on landscape character.
