People power helped ensure plans for a controversial solar farm on the unspoiled Isle of Cumbrae were booted out by North Ayrshire councillors at a heated planning committee meeting on Wednesday.
Planning permission had been sought for the installation of a photovoltaic solar farm, with associated battery energy storage systems and associated infrastructure, to the north-east of Wee Minnemoer.
The site is 15.3 hectares of rough grassland and open moorland in the centre of Great Cumbrae.
