Power station decision faces delay as opponents take fight to appeal court

THE opponents of proposals to build a £3 billion coal-fired power station at Hunterston in Ayrshire have lodged an appeal in their judicial review battle, putting pressure on the Scottish Government to delay its planning decision.

Marco McGinty, the birdwatcher who became the figurehead for the 20,000-strong campaign against the proposed plant when he took the matter to court, has decided to continue his fight despite losing the first round to developer Ayrshire Power last month.
