Perth and Kinross recommend an objection to Macritch

6/8/2015

0 Comments

 
Perth and Kinross council's Development Quality Manager has written a report which recommends that the Development Management Committee OBJECT to the Macritch Hill proposal. 

Whilst the Macritch Hill industrial wind turbine development is not in Perth and Kinross, the Council are statutory consultees. The report clearly states that the development is contrary to the Local Development Plan and the "location, dominance, scale and layout of the proposed wind farm on its own would result in unacceptable visual impacts". Furthermore, the development in relation to existing and consented wind farms in the area would "give rise to unacceptable cumulative visual impacts".

The Development Management Committee meet on the 10th of June

Supplementary information submitted for Saddlehill

Wind Prospect, the Saddlehill developers have submitted additional information to both Angus Council and Perth and Kinross Council.

Click HERE to read the Addendum. Have a look at page 52 and the map which shows the position of the turbines - existing, consented and proposed - in relation to the homes of the good people of Kilry.

Just because the nose limits are within the "acceptable" range as far as the ETSU-R-97 regulations are concerned does NOT mean they are in any way acceptable to people living in a previously quiet and peacefully rural setting.

Historic Scotland has major concerns over saddlehill

6/4/2015

It has come to light that Historic Scotland is yet another consultee to have major concerns over the Saddlehill industrial wind turbines application. Although they have not made a formal objection they say it would have a significant adverse impact on various monuments. Their report is highly critical.

Historic Scotland call for four turbines to be withdrawn or re-sited. WE BELIEVE THE ENTIRE APPLICATION SHOULD BE WITHDRAWN.

Macritch - Angus Council have Stated that their objection can not be Lifted

5/27/2015

0 Comments

 
Our thanks were sent today to Angus Council planners for their damning report objecting to the Macritch windfarm objection and their guarantee that no matter what future mitigation measures are offered by Scottish Water/ENECO the Council's objection will not be lifted.

Planning boss Iain Mitchell has written to the Scottish Energy Consents Unit with a covering letter accompanying the detailed objection saying: "There are some reasons for objection that could, theoretically, be overcome by further technical assessment, however in respect of the landscape and visual reasons for objecting, Angus Council is of the view these points of objection cannot be overcome by mitigation or conditions."

We trust Scottish Water/ENECO heed these words and withdraw the application.
