A second round of public consultations will take place next week, outlining
revised proposals for a new wind farm in Aberdeenshire.
The original scheme for 37 turbines at the Fasque and Glendye Estate has
been reduced by nearly a third – to 26 – since the initial consultation in
June.
The proposed facility will be located between Fettercairn and Strachan
within the Aberdeenshire boundary.
Coriolis Energy will be holding two exhibitions on behalf of Glendye Wind
Farm Ltd at Strachan Village Hall and one at Fettercairn Church Hall next week.
Along with updated plans, a 3-D model will be on display to demonstrate how
the wind farm will impact on the landscape from all angles.
Members of the public will have the opportunity to fill in comment cards
which developers will use to help shape and inform the proposals, prior to
a planning application being submitted next spring.
Coriolis Energy Development Manager, James Baird said: “We were delighted
with the turnout at the first round of public exhibitions and would like to
thank all those who provided feedback, as it has contributed importantly to
the revised 26-turbine layout that will be on show.
“We look forward to once again welcoming members of the public and
gathering feedback from the local community and all those with an interest
in the proposed wind farm.
“There are several options for distributing funds for the benefit of the
community and we welcome feedback on information from the local community
on this.”
The public exhibitions are at Strachan Village Hall on Tuesday, November
29, between 3pm and 8pm, and at Fettercairn Church Hall on Wednesday,
November 30, between the same times.
