What better way to spend a rather dreich weekend than to take a little time and object to the Saddlehill/Black Hill industrial wind turbines.

There are 3 ways to do this today..

1) write a letter and send it both Angus Council and Perth and Kinross Council

Angus Council Planning Department: reference number: 14/00947/EIAM
Angus Council, Planning Department, Angus House, Orchardbank Forfar DD8 1AX

Perth &Kinross Planning Department: reference number: 14/01993/FLL
Development Management, Perth and Kinross Council, Pullar House, Kinnoull Street, Perth PH1 5GD


2) save yourself a stamp and email your objection 
to  planning@angus.gov.uk      Angus Council Planning Department: reference number: 14/00947/EIAM
and
to developmentmanagement@pkc.gov.uk   Perth &Kinross Planning Department: reference number: 14/01993/FLL


3) directly on the planning webpage
click on the Angus Council website planning application for Saddlehill and type in your comments and press submit


(Perth and Kinross Council website is not yet up and running but we will keep you posted)

The application for “Erection of Fourteen Wind Turbines with Blade Tips up to 115m, Foundations, Crane Hardstandings, Around 14 km of Access Track, Two Borrow Pits, a Permanent Anemometry Mast and Ancillary Works | Black Hill Glen Isla” has been lodged with both Angus Council and Perth and Kinross Council.

There are 28 days to object to this development.

Below is a map showing Wind Prospect's proposed access route. Any of you who are familiar with the B954.. just imagine what this might entail!

The proposed industrial wind turbine development of Saddlehill straddles both Angus and Perth and Kinross Councils. We have been informed that Angus Council will be the "lead" council. At the moment we are not entirely clear if objections can be sent to both councils or indeed how the process works when more than one council is involved. As soon as we have a definitive answer on which council to object to we will let you know.

We can confirm that Wind Prospect have submitted their planning application to Angus Council. As soon as the Council assign a planning reference number and the application is uploaded onto the Council's website we can then make our formal representations to the Council. 

We will keep you updated and let you know just as soon as the full details are made public.
