The Committee discussed landscape and visual impact, biodiversity, cultural heritage, public rights of way and highways and other issues including socio economic and tourism.

In response to questions the Planning Consultant advised that there was no information regarding borrow pits.

Concerns were raised regarding the landscape and visual impact of the access track to the proposed turbines and it was confirmed that the track would be required throughout the lifetime of the windfarm.
