A potential wind farm in Inverclyde has been rejected by the Council.

The application, if approved, would have seen eight turbines constructed around Corlic Hill in Greenock.

The plans were submitted to Inverclyde Council's Planning Board who recommended refusal. However, due to the scale of the development, which had been classed as "major", had to be examined by a full Council meeting.

The application covered 209 hectares.

Last week, a Council meeting subsequently decided to refuse the development. It was also decided that a report should be prepared on how renewable energy can be further developed in the area.
