A public consultation has been launched for one of the largest onshore wind farms in Scotland planned for Aberdeenshire.
The Hill of Fare wind farm, planned for four miles from Banchory, will have a series of 820-foot turbines, theoretically visible from 20 miles in all directions from viewpoints.
Developer RES has launched the consultations, which includes an open online form and public exhibitions in and around Banchory this week.
RES said it “believes in meaningful and productive consultation”, with the closing date for comments on November 11.
Local residents have launched a website, the Hill of Fare Information Group, to help the public get a better understanding of the proposed wind farm.
The site provides links to key documents published by RES, contact details of local politicians and those involved in the project, news articles and community council and developer-run consultation meeting dates.
This follows an Aberdeenshire resident who has lived in his house for 40 years, Frank Murray, writing an open letter criticising the proposed giant wind farm on the grounds of the eye strain people living next to onshore wind farms have experienced in other parts of the country, the impact on the local landscape and the historical significance of the site. https://www.energyvoice.com/…/public-consultation…/
