Application progress
This application is under consideration - no decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision soon after comments close on 21 Jul 2026; it is now day 123. The consultation period closed on 21 Jul 2026.
Planning committee
Deferred by Dumfries Planning Applications Committee on 27 Aug 2026.
Deferred
- Officers advised approval because the temporary mast was lightweight, had limited impacts and could be removed with the site restored.
- Objectors raised concerns about landscape, wildlife, aviation, access, flooding, peatland disturbance and the wider wind farm connection.
- The committee heard four objectors and the applicant, then deferred the application so a site visit could be arranged.
