Argyll and Bute Council officers had recommended that councillors agree that the authority would not object to the Scottish Government proposal for the structuresCOUNCIL chiefs will object to plans for 13 wind turbines to be situated near Inveraray – unless mitigation action is taken.
The debate took place at a meeting of the council’s planning, protective services and licensing committee on Wednesday, May 22.A report in advance of the meeting paraphrased the landscape consultant as saying: “It is not considered that appropriate design mitigation has been applied in line with National Planning Framework 4 Policy 11e and the significant adverse effects of the proposal could be mitigated to some degree by improving its appearance from key views.
Oban North and Lorn independent Councillor Kieron Green, the committee’s chair, said: “In the past we have put in a holding objection, pending resolving a few issues. Is there a particular reason why the holding objection, pending changes to the design, was not considered this time? “Community councils are being approached and nothing happens for a year or two. It just so happens that last week at two community councils, I mentioned this farm was up for consideration.
Reviewing officer Sandra Davies said: “I appreciate that when you consider the advice of the landscape consultant, that is how it looks, because it does sound quite negative due to a lot of adverse effects being referred to.”
