Turbine decision delay

An Energy company's plans to build three 262ft wind turbines havebeen put on hold.

Councillors on the Formartine area committee have delayed decidingthe application until they have visited the site, at Mains of Hatton,Kirktown of Auchterless, near Turriff.

The committee heard that 20 letters of objection had been receivedto the proposal, highlighting concerns about property values and theimpact on bird life.

Part of the electricity generated would be used to support Grampian Country Foods.

The councillor for Turriff and district, Anne Robertson, saidthere were "too many ifs, buts and maybes and not enough firmevidence about some of the issues".
