Commenting on the decison to authorise the Aikengall II windfarm, Dunbar & East Linton councillor MIchael Veitch said:
"This is a hugely disappointing decision from the Scottish Government. Aikengall I was an extremely controversial decision, and it is regrettable in the extreme that this extension to the wind farm has now been authorised. This is a further slap in the face for my constituents in Oldhamstocks and the Eastern Lammermuirs, hot on the heals of the extraordinary decision last month by Scottish Borders councillors to ignore their own officials and authorise two large turbines at Kinegar near Cockburnspath."
