Barrel Law wind farm proposal rejected amid radar fears

BBC News | 5 March 2013 | www.bbc.co.uk

Plans for a wind farm development at Barrel Law, in the Scottish Borders, have been rejected by councillors.

They turned down the application by ABO Wind UK Ltd to site eight turbines, each 125m high, on land north west of the village of Roberton.

Members cited the Ministry of Defence objections due to possible interference with radar at RAF Spadeadam and seismic monitoring at Eskdalemuir.

They also had concerns over the visual impact the development would have.
