It has been another busy summer with lots of tourists, but parking is still a massive issue and was not helped by the car park extension not going ahead as had been promised (hopefully, it will be in place next year). Unfortunately, there were also eight commercial break-ins in Fort Augustus during July and August which is very concerning but the police have stressed that local residential properties are not at risk as this group are targeting commercial premises who have been advised as in the CC Minutes.

  • Onshore Wind Power Is Cost Effective Onshore Wind Power Is the Most Cost Effective Renewable Energy Technology, Having Been Refined and Proven Over Many Years
    CNOC AN EAS WIND FARM WELCOME TO OUR EXHIBITION Thank you for taking the time to visit our exhibition today. The purpose of this exhibition is to explain the amendments that we have made to the wind farm design in response to the consultation feedback that we received regarding our initial, 17 turbine design. This exhibition, which is being presented in four locations in the local communities, sets out the final design of the wind farm for our forthcoming planning application. We expect to submit the planning application in April 2015. Cnoc an Eas Wind Farm The design which we scoped with the local authority consisted of 17 turbines (see inset in the second graphic, below).Over the last five months we have listened carefully to the comments made during the first round of public exhibitions, and other discussions held with the local communities, and have made significant changes to our original design. Turbine numbers have been reduced and we have worked hard to refine the site layout in order to address concerns that were raised with us. The amended design will now consist of 13 turbines which have been positioned further from the settled parts of Glen Urquhart. The installed capacity for the project will be a maximum of 44.2 Mega Watts which means that the planning application will be determined by Highland Council. The site lies within the Aird and Loch Ness Ward of The Highland Council and all of the turbines would be sited within the Glenurquhart Community Council area. Site location Scoping layout Final site layout * Please note, all graphics, wireframes and photomontages in this exhibition are for representational purposes only.
