Decisions defy belief

Some of the decisions made by the SIC planners and councillors during the past few years defy belief.

A 103-turbine wind farm good – a small illuminated Tennent’s sign on the Thule bad.

An Italian restaurant at Parkgate Brae bad – a 10 metre increase in turbine height good.

An attempt to stop further deterioration to an ancient house in Unst bad requiring enforcement action – very very bad.

Large wind farm just outside Lerwick – very very good.

Am I being cynical or do I detect a pattern emerging here? Surely not!
