The application also requests that a direction be made by the Scottish Ministers under section 57 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The installed capacity of the proposed Teviot Wind Farm would be in excess of 50MW, comprising 62 turbines with a ground-to-blade tip height of up to 240 metres. Eight turbines would have tip heights of up to 180m, five turbines would have tip heights of up to 200m, 38 turbines would have tip heights of up to 220m and 11 turbines will have tip heights of up to 240m. The Proposed Development has an indicative output capacity of 409MW and included a solar array and two battery storage facilities along with associated ancillary development. The proposal is subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment.
