Newlands Hill to go to Public Local Inquiry
Newlands Hill to go to Public Local Inquiry
The East Lothian Council (ELC) has maintained its objection to the Newlands Hill Wind Energy Hub scheme and the application will now go to Public Local Inquiry (PLI). The ELC was the only statutory consultee to object to the application.
Per the PLI process, a Reporter from the Scottish Government’s Planning and Environmental Appeals will be appointed to conduct the inquiry. The Reporter will consider all the evidence from the various parties and will compile a report based on these findings, which will be shared with the Scottish Ministers to support them reaching their final determination.
More information will be provided in due course.
