[The following email was received by SCC from Julie Aitken of Nadara energy company]
Following on from previous contact regarding Farr Wind Farm located approximately 3.7km from the village of Farr and 5.6km from Tomatin to the east, I would like to advise that are preparing to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report to the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit for our proposals to extend Farr Wind Farm.
We are exploring the potential to develop up to ten turbines, each with a maximum tip height of up to 200 meters, potentially generating over 67MW of renewable electricity. However, this may change in response to the findings of our environmental assessments and community comments.
We would like to start a conversation with the local community and key stakeholders about how we make sure our plans are informed by their feedback. We will be hosting our first public consultation events locally in June. These are scheduled to take place:
- Tuesday 16th June, 9:30am – 5pm, Farr Community Hall
- Wednesday 17th June, 11:30am – 6:30pm, Strathdearn Hub
These events will be advertised locally and further information will be available at www.farrwindfarm.co.uk. I have also enclosed a poster advertising the events – if you are able to share this on your social media channels, that would be greatly appreciated.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the proposals in more detail and I hope that we will have the opportunity to meet at the public exhibitions. In the meantime, should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Julie Aitken
