The proposed wind farm is within Highland Council’s preferred area for a development of this type.
 
Consultation with members of the public, community councils and organisations including the Highland Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, Cairngorms National Park Authority and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency has helped to shape the design and development of the proposed wind farm.
 
Following feedback from public and statutory consultees the design of the wind farm has been reduced from 34 to 31 turbines with a maximum height to blade tip of 125 metres.  At three locations the height to blade tip has been restricted to 110 metres to avoid visibility at viewpoints within the Strathspey area.
 
The application, including copies of the Environmental Statement, (ES) Visualisations, Planning Statement and Public Consultation Report is available to view during normal office hours at:

• Kincraig Post Office and Stores
• Kingussie Learning Centre and Library
