An energy firm's bid to stop a man living at the heart of land it wants to buy as part of a windfarm project from objecting at a public inquiry has failed
Kevan Jamieson, who lives near Innerwick, East Lothian, had described SSE's public consultation around their plan to bring energy onshore from what is expected to be one of the world's biggest windfarms as a 'sham'.
But when he lodged a late objection to their application to Scottish Ministers for a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) to buy land around him, they objected to his request to take part in a public inquiry into the plans.
