Scoping opinion sought for proposed wind farm at Narachan, Tayinloan

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

This is a request for a scoping opinion — a formal step where the council agrees what issues need to be studied before a full application is submitted. The proposal is for a wind farm called Narachan Wind Farm near Tayinloan on the Kintyre peninsula. No physical work is proposed at this stage. The site is in a rural location. Narachan Burn runs nearby, within a few minutes' walk of the site. The nearest school is about a 5-minute drive away, and the nearest hospital is roughly a 28-minute drive. Because this is a scoping request rather than a full application, no decision on the wind farm itself will be made at this point. The council is simply agreeing what studies and reports the applicant must carry out.

What you can do

This is a scoping opinion request, not a full planning application, so there is no formal comment period at this stage. Watch for the full Section 36 application when it is submitted — that is when residents can have their say. The reference number is 26/00365/SCOPE.
