Conclusion: We have considered each of the material attacks made by the appellants on the Decision. We have found none of them to be well-founded.We shall refuse the appeals.

NOTE: CWP /Sneddon Law Community Wind Company have, without waiting for this decision, recently applied to renew their planning permission of October 2014 and avoid compliance with condition 36 under s.42 of the 1997 Planning (Scotland) Act, which would otherwise require the developer to provide mitigation and monitoring for the ‘at risk’ 22 PWS affected by this development.
