Dumfries and Galloway councillors this week unanimously agreed to lodge a formal objection with the Scottish Government to a huge windfarm development.
Council officers had numerous concerns about a bid to construct 45 wind turbines at the Faw Side site – 6.8km to the north of Langholm – and councillors are now in agreement.
Community Wind Power has submitted an application to the Scottish Government to create the windfarm on land that stretches across both Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders.
