Inquiry to investigate proposed wind farm near Largs – Ayrshire today

Published by SAS Volunteer on

A PUBLIC inquiry is set to investigate a proposed wind farm near Largs.
The inquiry, led by Alasdair Edwards, was triggered after North Ayrshire Council, as the planning authority, lodged an objection to the Crosbie Wind Farm project on Kaim Hill in Fairlie.
The proposed development by Galileo involves the construction and operation of 14 turbines, each with a tip height of up to 200 metres, and associated infrastructure.
The wind farm is expected to have a generation capacity exceeding 80 megawatts, alongside a battery energy storage facility with a capacity exceeding 50 megawatts.
The project site is located approximately 3.5 km southeast of Largs.
In addition to North Ayrshire Council, various community councils and interest groups have opposed the proposal, citing a range of concerns.
Fairlie Community Council has raised issues related to impacts on residents and wildlife, potential noise pollution, and the destruction of scenic and leisure areas.  https://www.ayrshire-today.co.uk/news/25598469.inquiry-investigate-proposed-wind-farm-near-largs/?fbclid=IwY2xjawN573tleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeS8cS_RRARBWQjfwnDi5d0tpcYwl8H1qDceeDNsko4pZDTAB0yrYG2u9YszA_aem_ffiyCjAo92iHANmSLcIQhQ
