Crystal Rig IV Public Inquiry Hearing DPEA Webcast, 10th March 2020

The Crystal Rig IV Public Inquiry is taking place in Duns from 10th to 13th March 2020. East Lammermuir Community Council was represented at the Inquiry by Chair, Chris Bruce on Tuesday 10th March where he presented the findings of the CR IV postal survey recently carried out by ELCC. His well received statement can be viewed here and on the Scottish Government Planning and Environmental Appeals Divisions (DPEA) webcast page for WIN-140-8 (Tuesday, 10th March 2020 at 9:30am) from approximately 2:22:00 to 2:45:00 into the webcast.

The introduction of webcasting by DPEA is part of a strategy to enhance public access to open and transparent discussions on planning issues.Those who are not able to attend inquires or hearings in person,  are able to watch sessions on a live or on-demand (archive) basis and remain connected to the planning process without being there.

Have Your Say on Crystal Rig IV Planning Application

4 turbines with a ground to blade tip height of up to 149.9 metres,
3 turbines with a ground to blade tip height of up to 174.5 metres, and
4 turbines with a ground to blade tip height of up to 200 metres.

East Lammermuir Community Council (ELCC) wishes to reflect the views of the Residents in and around Innerwick, Oldhamstocks, Spott and Stenton on the above mentioned proposal.
