In 2025 Strathdearn Community Council gathered the residents’ views on the six proposed wind farms in Strathdearn at that time —Balnespick, Clune, Lynemore, Highland, Kyllachy, and Carn na Saobhaidh—which are at various stages of planning. Local support in completing that survey was fantastic and was very useful in allowing us to compile the feelings of the community on many of the aspects. These have been submitted to the Energy Consents Unit (ECU) in Scottish Government and we await feedback on those detailed submissions made on your behalf.
We now have had two further applications namely Glenkirk and Glen Markie to consider and we as a community council felt it was essential that we gather the community feedback on these new proposals so that we can continue to feedback to the ECU the community comments
We appreciate this is another survey but feel this is justified at this time as time is very short to comment on these on your behalf. We would point out that you are fully entitled to comment directly to the ECU on these and any applications on a personal basis
Full information on all wind farm proposals can be found on this website’s Wind Farms Information Page (click on links to individual developers’ own websites). A summary prepared by our own Wind Farm advisory group can be downloaded in PDF format HERE.
