Scottish Borders Council opposes wind farm expansion

The Scottish Borders Council has opposed plans to expand the Fallago Rig near Lauder, after a six year opposition campaign.

Developers had proposed to build an additional 12 turbines and planning officers had advised the council not to object.

However, the councillors went against the recommendation, citing the cumulative effects on the landscape.

The final decision on the project will lie with the Scottish government.
