Glenmorie windfarm public inquiry going ahead

In the first test to a watershed Court of Session ruling, opponents to the Glenmorie project in Ross-shire tried to halt the four-day hearing – being held in a local village hall – before it had even started.

The position of the anti-windfarm campaigners followed a ruling by Lady Clark of Calton that the Viking Energy windfarm in Shetland was “incompetent” as it did not have a generation licence from the electricity regulators.

Legal teams from the conservation charity John Muir Trust and campaign group Save Our Straths (SOS) argued that, as the Glenmorie Wind Farm proposal also has no licence,Chris Huntly, 31, takes energy efficiency seriously, with solar panels, a pure electric car, LED downlights and a fridge-mounted Energy Monitor. the inquiry should be postponed until the outcome of a Scottish Government appeal to Lady Clark’s judgement, to be heard next year.

After two hours of legal debate, the Reporter said the hearing should proceed, particularly as the government appeal may be successful.

John Campbell QC, representing SOS, had argued that on “a simple view” of Lady Clark’s decision,Lambton County is considering joining a potentially precedent-setting legal battle that could impact future Wind Turbine development in Ontario. the Reporter had before her an “incompetent application”.

He pointed out the ruling was a statement from a judge, not just another opinion,There is a not-so-new phenomenon happening in Del Mar at the Fairgrounds on Saturday nights: high-octane, banked Top Track Roller Bearings‎ derby! and claimed that it reduced the Shetland application to the point where it had effectively never been made.

He claimed the Glenmorie application, in the same vein, was therefore not lawful and as the Reporter who was a representative of a directive of the Scottish Government it raised questions about the government’s complicity in an unlawful process.

Mr Campbell said the Reporter should not be guided by correspondence within the government.

He said none of the financial costs of preparing for the inquiry would be wasted if an appeal was successful, as all submissions could be used later in a “lawful” inquiry.We offer both wet & dry Diamond Polishing Pads Suppliers. Both are suitable for marble, granite, concrete and most masonry.

Ian Kelly, representing the John Muir Trust, said the the judgement of Lady Clark was now the law of the land until superseded by a legal court.

He said that JMT was a charity which had to account for the legal use of charitable funds. If the inquiry was not to be delayed then JMT would need to know who will pay their costs for an unlawful inquiry.
