PE1864/SSS - Increase the ability of communities to influence planning decisions for onshore windfarms
I agree with the petition. Having been part of an Inquiry several years ago, I feel very strongly that the whole process is badly run, badly managed and not inclusive of local people and their views. If you can’t afford experts to defend your position and a lawyer who is experienced in the appeals process to defend you, it is my opinion that you are wasting your time taking part. Any process that can help to give local people a voice, allow them to be treated with respect and stop the bullying and harassment is long overdue.
I agree that everyone in Scotland should reap the benefits of renewable energy, but those benefits should not come at any cost. That is the current guidance in SPP and NPFS, the Energy Policy Statement and related documents all say. It is not enough to pay lip service to the cliché of ‘the right development in the right place’.
I think the committee need to overhaul the Inquiry process. The expert witnesses in our Inquiry were treated with kid gloves and listened to with reverence. However, we, the public were treated by the QC who was working for the applicant at the Inquiry with contempt, kept on the stand for hours and verbally abused time and time again.
Alas, the Reporter in charge of the Inquiry did nothing to correct this very different treatment that was being meted out. We considered putting in a complaint against the Reporter at the time but felt that might jeopardise our case.
