This decision seemed a little odd when The Highland Council is quite happy to allow huge wind farms and single turbines regardless of the impact on the landscape.
Was talking with a local councillor recently about the blight on once pristine panoramas. It was broached as an alternative that all new builds should have compulsory solar arrays which would then reduce the cost to existing properties.
I appreciate that the sun does n't always shine but despite the rumours the wind does n't always blow either.
Besides even with a cheeky sauce I am reliably informed that eating one of the concrete and metal monsters is nigh on impossible.

We can't have anything that might create local jobs. Must be something that will only benefit other countries.

But then each planning application is carried out on a case by case basis.

i bet if you asked HC for an explanation, they would clam up! :roll:

Had HC allowed this then the floodgates would have opened for other developers to mussel in on the area.

One persons solar panel puts up another persons electricity bill. Read all about it here http://www.fitariffs.co.uk/. Especially the bit about who pays.
