WORK has finished on installing a temporary meteorological mast at the proposed Giants Burn Wind Farm site near Dunoon, but the development has drawn criticism from a local campaign group concerned about impacts on peatland.
Renewable energy developer Statkraft confirmed on-site works were under way earlier in April.
The temporary met mast, approved by Argyll and Bute Council in August last year, stands up to 120 metres high near the north-eastern boundary of the proposed wind farm site and could remain in place for up to four years gathering wind resource data.
Statkraft assured this newspaper that only works relating to the mast installation had been undertaken.
However, campaign group Save Cowals Hills has raised concerns about how the work was carried out, alleging damage to peatland at the site. https://argyllbute24.co.uk/concerns-raised-following-giants-burn-met-mast-installation/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRp1C1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeIrc_KxTI4CMhobZqIW3K1y4uIM9onN9Xwu6l9u8nCuu2jv8bzeD8obE5KyA_aem_6Ut44x8CjCzhEWtpdyN8ow
