Hill of Fare Windfarm We Need Your Support
We are currently waiting for Aberdeenshire Council to announce the dates of the Area Committee meetings in Garioch, Marr and Kincardine and Mearns, where the Windfarm application will be considered. We continue to lobby our local councillors to object to the application, and encourage all of you to do the same. The meetings are likely to take place during either May or June. If not then, they are unlikely to proceed before September. Since our last update, HoFWIG has produced a detailed analysis of the issues arising from the application, going through the details of the application and considering these alongside the Scottish Government ’ s National Planning Framework 4. We have also commissioned professional reports from experts in planning and in landscape and visual analysis. All of these have been formally submitted to the Scottish Government ’ s Energy Consents Unit and to Aberdeenshire Council. There are many legitimate reasons for objection to this Windfarm and we have highlighted them. According to the ECU (Energy Consents Unit) website for this application [ECU00004592] around 1500 people have submitted objections to date, with 20 letters of support. It is clear that communities all around the Hill of Fare are vehemently opposed to the Windfarm.
