A proposed wind farm near Drongan has finally been given the go ahead – the best part of a decade after it was first mooted.
The original planning application for Polquhairn wind farm was submitted back in November 2014. Just last week, the chief executive of developer Orsted criticised the length of time it takes to decide wind farm applications across the world.
That proposal would have had nine 100-metre high turbines which could generate 22.5MW of power. However, issues relating to potential interference with radar systems, led to both Prestwick Airport and the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) objecting to the application.
