JOB DONE!! Thank you so much.
(To make a more detailed objection scroll down to table below.)
Ben Sca Redesign:
A plan to increase the height of seven turbines from 135m to 149.9m in height which will have significant major/moderate adverse impact on residents of Edinbane, Kildonan and Flashader.
Write an email to eplanning@highland.gov.uk with the heading “Objection to Ben Sca Redesign: 24/01404/FUL”
Beinn Mheadhonach:
The turbine blades are over 300m high – so the tips may be 450m above sea level. Clearly visible from the Cuillin ridge, Portnalong, Carbost, the Western Isles etc.
Write an email to eplanning@highland.gov.uk with the heading: “Objection to Beinn Mheadhonach Wind Farm – 23/05638/FUL”
Glen Ullinish:
This is the biggest wind farm proposed for Skye – 47 turbines, 200m high.
- Write an email to Representations_Mailbox@gov.scot with the heading:”Objection to Glen Ullinish 2 Wind Farm: ECU 00004829″
- Write an email to eplanning@highland.gov.uk with the heading:”Objection to Glen Ullinish 2 Wind Farm: 23/03945/S36″
Ben Aketil Repowering and Extension:
The plan is to replace the 12 turbines 100m high at the existing wind farm with 9 turbines 200m high. These would be the first 200m high turbines on Skye.
- Write an email to Representations_Mailbox@gov.scot with the heading:
“Objection to Ben Aketil Repowering & Extension: ECU 00004552 “ - Write an email to eplanning@highland.gov.uk with the heading:
“Objection to Ben Aketil Repowering & Extension: 23/02998/S36”
Balmeanach:
Right next to the existing Edinbane wind farm. This wind farm would be 10 turbines x 150m high, which would “close the gap” between it and the confirmed Ben Sca wind farm. A continuous line of turbines!
Write an email to eplanning@highland.gov.uk with the heading:
“Objection to Balmeanach Wind Farm: 23/04194/FUL”
