A FUND to help planning authorities deal with large numbers of wind farm applications has been opened.
The Scottish Government is providing £300,000 for local authorities which are experiencing a significant rise in the number of planning applications for wind turbines.
It comes after Aberdeenshire and Fife councils asked for a temporary halt to new applications earlier this year, after being deluged by proposals from developers.
