Anyone who has been following the Lewis Wind Farm proposals have been under no illusion that it would succeed, ever since the Scottish Government hinted a couple of months ago that they were "minded" to oppose it. Today, they formally threw out the planning application. The 181 turbines would have been Europe's largest single wind farm, on a prime site in the Western Isles of Scotland. The problem was that the area was a specially protected peatland area, home to some rare and endangered birds.
