The Scottish Executive received almost 11,400 representations against Lewis Wind Power’s application for their proposed development in Lewis….with less than 60 in support.
The figures are revealed in a parliamentary answer to Shona Baird, MSP for North East Scotland, representing the Green Party.
She asked the Executive how many representations it had received in respect of the Lewis wind farm during the formal consultation period and in total.

These attracted 10,234 representations in total, up to the last consultation date of 5 February 2007.
