RESIDENTS at West Loch awe near Oban are to seek a last-ditch European intervention to prevent a ?5 million tie-up between a wind-farm developer and the Forestry Commission after the First Minister refused to help them.  avich and Kilchrenan Community Council objects to plans by the Commission and wind-farm developer Green Power to build a 36km forest road near the loch. It would be used to supply the nearby consented 20-turbine Carraig Gheal wind farm and for timber haulage. Green Power proposes to pay 80% of costs, with the Commission paying most of the remainder.  The council has a history of wind farm objections. It is concerned the route will threaten a golden eagle pair. It claims an alternative route was rejected without consideration, contravening the EU s Good Practice Wind Project. This scheme, to which the Scottish Government is a standard bearer, seeks to reconcile the needs of wind energy developers and the environment. The council has received a letter from alex Salmond declining to reconsider, pointing out that it has Scottish Natural Heritage s approval. The Commission claims the alternative route was rejected as too steep and too close to hydroelectric infrastructure.  Christine Metcalfe of the council showed the Sunday Herald a letter from SNH confirming it would have preferred the alternative had it been an option.  She now intends to lodge a complaint with the EU Wind Project.  a Commission spokesman said:  The part of the route that is close to the eagle s nest will be relatively lightly used.
