This time around the council failed to issue a decision prompting the company behind the scheme to seek a Scottish government ruling.The proposals were for seven turbines instead of the previously-approved eight but they had increased in height from 126.5m to 149.9m ."In my view, this would make the turbines more prominent and more visible in some views," she said.
