Hill wind farm inquiry confirmed
Wind turbine
Both councils voted to object to the wind farm proposals
The Scottish Executive has confirmed that a public inquiry will be held into plans for a 48-turbine wind farm at Fallago Rig in the Lammermuir Hills.

Scottish Borders Council has already raised objections to the application by North British Windpower Ltd.

At a meeting earlier this year they decided to oppose the scheme - which had been reduced from 64 turbines - by nine votes to three.

The council has now to decide how to be represented at the inquiry.
