Langholm and Auldgirth wind farm bids face different fates

BBC News | 24 May 2016 | www.bbc.co.uk

Dumfries and Galloway planning officers have advised councillors to approve one wind farm scheme but reject another.

They have recommended the green light be given, with strict conditions, to 11 turbines at Crossdykes Farm north west of Langholm.

However, a five-turbine project near Auldgirth is facing refusal.

Force 9 Energy wants to develop the site but planning officials have said it would have a significant adverse impact on the surrounding landscape.
