Campaigners against windfarms fear developers are “running rings around” planning officials as they bid to build taller turbines.
Save Our Hills has found a number of examples of developments in the Glenkens where firms were given planning permission, then lodged a new application for bigger turbines.
The most recent example was at Glenshimmeroch near Dalry. Having been given permission for 150m tall turbines in 2019, developers have now won approval from the Scottish Government for turbines as tall as 180m.
