[Strathdearn Community Council are grateful for the community engagement so far received and have responded with the following clarifications]
Only one formal wind farm application so far has been submitted. The one for Balnespick.
People can submit their own personal views on the Balnespick application to the Energy Consents Unit by the end of March. Other applications will have their own closing date for representations to be submitted when they appear on the Energy Consents Web site.
Personal views on applications for wind farms of more than 50 megawatts (MW) installed capacity (all 6 planned for Strathdearn are over 50MW) should be made to the

People may also wish to copy their personal representations to the Highland Council who will be responding as a statutory consultee.
Thank you for reading the report which carries a summary of information on each application.
The letters being sent to every household will explain that the Strathdearn Community Council intend to compile a ‘community response’ under key planning headings for each application to submit to the Energy Consents Unit and to the Highland Council.’
