Councillors concerned at the number of wind turbines springing up on the hillsides of central Fife will today be asked to give permission for another two.
Plans to build 20-metre-tall turbines at Newton Farm near Auchtertool were deferred by the Kirkcaldy area committee last month to allow members to visit the site.
Fears were expressed by some members that the council was taking a piecemeal approach which could result in turbines at every turn in the road.
The council is working on a Fife-wide policy on wind turbines and a suggestion was made that applications be deferred until it is complete.
However, the committee was warned that could lead to applicants appealing on the grounds of non-determination which could ultimately cost the local authority money.
The latest application by Stuart Milne of Barnes Farm, Aberdour, is due to come back to the meeting of September and planners have recommended it be approved.
