Tim Crookall says the Earystane and Scard site will not be reclassified
The chair of Manx Utilities has confirmed the proposed windfarm site at Earystane and Scard is not on heathland.
Tim Crookall told the House of Keys yesterday (31 October), the authority is using definitions from the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture to make this determination.
Jason Moorhouse, MHK for Arbory, Castletown and Malew, had asked the MU for a new assessment.
Mr Crookall says studies have been done which show 'small patches' of heath in the area:
Petition launched calling for renewal Peel Sailing Club's lease
Cruise ship arrival sets new record
Government and hospitality representatives hold 'positive talks'
Community service for serial shoplifter
DESC seeking planning permission for mobile classroom at QEII
Planet Earth model seen by more than 13,000 people
