location :
The site is located within the Lammermuir Hills, within the administrative boundary of Scottish Borders Council. It is adjacent to the Fallago Rig wind farm, on the eastern side.

current stage :
An EIA scoping request has been made to the Scottish Government’s Energy Consents Unit to agree a suitable scope and approach to the EIA.
The scoping exercise draws upon the expertise and local knowledge of a range of consultees including NatureScot, SEPA, Historic Environment Scotland, local authorities and community councils, who are invited to provide feedback on the proposed approach to environmental assessment and topics to be included.
The scoping request is accompanied by a Scoping Report. This sets out a proposed EIA scope which consultees will comment on. It describes the maximum parameters of the wind farm under consideration at this early stage in the project’s development. It is envisaged that a maximum of 20 turbines may be proposed and turbines of up to 260m to blade tip (170m to hub) are being considered. The number and size of turbines that will be proposed in the final application will be refined in light of environmental surveys and landscape design work as well as feedback from public exhibitions and stakeholder consultation that will be undertaken throughout 2022.
