Culachy Windfarm rejected after vote by councillors – Press and Journal

By David Kerr

The Culachy Windfarm proposal has been rejected in a 5-2 vote by Highland
Council’s south planning committee.

Council leader Margaret Davidson, who represents the local ward, won the
vote based on her argument that approving RES’s plans for 13 huge turbines
near the Corrieyairack Pass would have breached planning policy through
cumulative visual impact and spoiled the experience of wild land for
tourists and locals who enjoy the tranquility of the area.

Only committee chairman Jimmy Gray and fellow Inverness councillor Thomas
Prag voted for approval.
