The company has submitted a letter to the Scottish Government, stating their intention to submit an application to build the wind farm.

The letter formally requests a ‘scoping opinion’ from Scottish ministers which would outline the effects of the proposed development on the environment.

That ‘scoping opinion’ will then form the basis of an Environmental Impact Assessment report which will be submitted to Scottish Borders Council.
