Manx Utilities has strongly denied allegations by opponents to its plans for a wind farm that ecological surveys were conducted without the correct licences.

Cair Vie Resistance has claimed that onshore wind consultants carried out surveys without the correct authorisation.

A spokesperson told Manx.News: “Manx Utilities wishes to address the recent allegations suggesting that the ecological surveys have been conducted without the necessary licences.

“Manx Utilities refutes these allegations. Surveys are carried out using non-intrusive methods, and where licences have been required, they have been duly obtained.

“Manx Utilities is and remains committed to full compliance with all legal requirements and to the protection of the Isle of Man’s wildlife.”
