Bad Fearn Windfarm , Land At Braemore Road, Dunbeath, KW6
Case Update – 13/04/2022** The decision on this case has been issued. The case has been dismissed and consent has been refused.
Reporter’s conclusion: There is no doubt that the proposal would make a contribution towards meeting net
zero targets and contribute to the local economy. These factors together with the
renewable energy policy context, present strong support towards approval of the proposal.
However, the same could be said for virtually any proposed renewable energy
development. That does not mean that each and every proposal would be considered
acceptable. For the reasons set out above, I am not persuaded that the benefits offered by
the proposed scheme are so great that they would outweigh or justify the significant
adverse effects on landscape, visual receptors, Wild Land Quality and the setting of
Scheduled Monuments that would be generated by the proposals.
