Planning decision: the erection of 6 wind turbines etc. at Quanterness (land near), St. Ola, Orkney

Planning proposal for the erection of 6 wind turbines etc. at Quanterness (land near), St. Ola, Orkney has been “Called In” for Scottish Ministers’ determination.

This Direction is given in view of the proposal raising matters which are of national importance in the context of expectations set out in National Planning Framework 3 for the Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters area and the need for an enhanced high voltage energy transmission network, and to avoid any conflict of interest that could have arisen in the event that Orkney Islands Council determined this planning application.
