South Shebster Windfarm Hearing
Nothing to do on Tuesday? Come to Halkirk 1pm for another demonstration of democracy at its best.
The South Shebster Windfarm Hearing is on, and the planners are recommending acceptance. National targets are more important than people’s lives.
This is what the Committee report says:
[It is considered that residential property in the vicinity of the wind
farm will not suffer a significant loss of amenity during both the construction and
operation of the wind farm due to separation distances from the turbines and
mitigation proposed by the developer. Once constructed and in operation there will be significant visual impacts but these are considered to be acceptable given the
separation distances from houses.
However, it is considered that this development is of a scale to provide a significant
contribution to the Government’s and Highland Council’s renewable energy targets
and considerable weight must be given to this factor. It is considered that this places
the balance in favour of the wind energy proposal.]

Has anyone in Planning asked the people nearby what they consider?
