Opposition is mounting to a proposal to create a laydown area for wind farm components in a field on the north-west fringe of Thurso.
SSE Renewables is expected to shortly submit a planning application for a temporary base to store the turbine parts after they are shipped to Scrabster.
The nine hectare area, off the A836, between the Pennyland and Burnside housing estates would be deployed before the components complete their journey to SSE’s new wind farm at Strathy South.
According to Pennyland resident David Bews, the go-ahead would drive a cart and horses through the planning blueprint for the area. https://www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk/news/wind-farm-laydown-area-plan-sparks-rising-opposition-353110/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3ZruW67Uf1QVtLliPp9DD8fKIzWr4uQCMxvayVhV_9e57v3ms3KZVcgTo_aem_5ZEhRLke3dmJHksFGcxJ8g
