  • Erection of Nine Wind Turbines, Permanent 70
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 6 ON THE AGENDA PLANNING PANEL PLANNING REGULATION & WASTE 9 MARCH 2010 NOT EXEMPT ERECTION OF NINE WIND TURBINES, PERMANENT 70 METRE WIND MONITORING MAST, CRANE HARDSTANDINGS, NEW INTERNAL ACCESS TRACKS, CONTROL BUILDING, BORROW PITS AND CAR PARKING AREA AT LAND AT LING HILL NORTH WEST OF EARLSBURN WIND FARM, FINTRY - RDC SCOTLAND LTD - 08/00104/DET 1 SUMMARY 1.1 This report considers the proposal for further development of nine wind turbines at Linghill (known as Earlsburn North), located to the north-west of the existing Earlsburn Windfarm (known as Earlsburn) development of fifteen wind turbines on the adjacent Hart Hill. The issues raised by the Application are the Development Plan policy on wind energy, consultative draft supplementary planning guidance on wind energy, visual impact on the Gargunnock Hills escarpment, effects on the setting of Stirling Castle and other monuments, the effect on the River Endrick as a Special Area of Conservation, the effect from the turbine blades on bird population, and Community Council representations/support. The Application is contrary to the Development Plan and consultative draft supplementary planning guidance on wind energy which is local planning policy in preparation and therefore requires a decision at Planning Panel. 2 RECOMMENDATION 2.1 Refuse for the following reasons: 1. The proposal is contrary to Structure Plan policy ENV16(1) in that: (a) the location of the turbines in relation to the Gargunnock Hills escarpment, an ‘Exclusion Area’ in terms of the policy, is such that the purpose of the ‘Exclusion Area’ in conserving landscape character is compromised; and (b) the location of the turbines in relation to the setting of Stirling Castle is such that the purpose of the ‘Exclusion Area’ in conserving the historic heritage is compromised.

Because some Elements are not required to be addressed there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements.

In this case a short description of the Element is included in the summary with the mention of ‘not applicable’.

  • Introduction Consultation by Strathblane CC
    Mark Laird, Planning Officer Stirling Council 7 August 2017 – via email [email protected] Dear Mr Laird 17/00434/PPP Land 160 Metres South Of Broadgate House, Campsie Road, Strathblane Strathblane Community Council provides its response to Gladman’s application for Planning Permission in Principle for a substantial residential development on Campsie Road, Strathblane, and the moving of the existing green belt boundary and currently designated cemetery to a location further east. Introduction Having consulted widely both in the pre-application stage and now in response to this application, the community council is clear that the overwhelming majority of the community are against Gladman’s proposals, or any housing development on the site. We note that the proposal is contrary to the Local Development Plan (both the current and the “Proposed” version), and we note that it is opposed by several statutory consultees. Of special concern is the applicant’s disregard for the Green Belt designation, which was been examined and confirmed in 2009 and reaffirmed in every iteration of the Local Development Plan process. We have studied the applicant’s submissions and supporting evidence in detail, and find it unconvincing. The evidence provided seems flawed and/or fails to support the conclusions presented in the Design Statement. Some relevant points are selected for discussion below. Consultation by Strathblane CC Extensive publicity and consultation was organised in response to Gladman’s pre-application consultation. Our response to the pre-application consultation is attached as Appendix 1. In response to the planning application 17/00434/PPP, an online and paper survey was organised, in conjunction with two drop-in meetings and a special meeting of the community council.

  • Erection of Seven Wind Turbines of Up
    THIS REPORT RELATES STIRLING COUNCIL TO ITEM 06 ON THE AGENDA PLANNING & REGULATION PANEL CORPORATE OPERATIONS 24 FEBRUARY 2015 NOT EXEMPT ERECTION OF SEVEN WIND TURBINES OF UP TO 125 METRES IN HEIGHT (TO BLADE TIP), EACH WITH AN EXTERNAL TRANSFORMER AND ASSOCIATED HARDSTANDINGS; A METEOROLOGICAL MAST; A CONTROL BUILDING; A TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION COMPOUND; FORMATION OF NEW ACCESS TRACKS AND TWO BORROW PITS FOR THE WINNING AND WORKING OF AGGREGATES; AND OTHER ANCILLARY DEVELOPMENT. AT LAND 2 KILOMETRES NORTH WEST OF WESTER CRINGATE, POLMAISE ROAD TO CARRON RESERVOIR, STIRLING - FORCE 9 ENERGY LLP AND EDF ENERGY ER - 13/00728/FUL 1 SUMMARY 1.1 The planning application is a major development. Previously the application was recommended for refusal through the Council’s weekly Planning Schedule on 26 March 2014. At this time the agent requested that a decision on the application not be issued and additional time be given to allow a response to the recommendation. This request was accepted. The agent submitted a case in relation to planning policy, the landscape and visual impact and proposals for mitigation to resolve the objection from the National Air Traffic Service which has been taken into account. The previous objection from the National Air Traffic Service has now been withdrawn. 2 OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S) 2.1 The Panel agrees to Refuse the application for the following Reasons:: 1. The proposal is contrary to the Stirling Local Development Plan Policies – Primary Policy 12 (Renewable Energy), Policy 12.1 Wind Turbines and Policy 9.1 Local landscape Areas in that: (a) The scale of the turbines proposed, particularly turbines 1, 2, 5 and 6 (a height of 125 metres), would be located in close proximity to the hill edges and would therefore have visually dominant impact on the overall scale of the hills.

  • The Economic Impacts of Wind Farms on Scottish Tourism
    The economic impacts of wind farms on Scottish tourism A report for the Scottish Government March 2008 The economic impact of Wind farms on Scottish tourism 2 Executive summary 1. Background and Approach Over the last two decades Energy Policy has seen a marked shift towards renewables as part of the UK commitment to reduce green house gas emissions by 20% between 2000 and 2010. The policy was reinforced in November 2007 with a new target of 50 per cent of Scotland's electricity from renewables by 2020, and an interim milestone of 31 per cent by 2011. The 2011 target implies around 5,000 Megawatts of installed capacity almost double current levels. Given current technology and the time needed to plan and develop large projects such as storage hydro or offshore wind farms, the policy suggests a very significant increase in on-shore wind farms with associated impacts on Scotland’s landscape. Scottish tourism depends heavily on the country's landscape, with 92% of visitors stating that scenery was important in their choice of Scotland as a holiday destination, the natural environment being important to 89% of visitors (Tourism Attitudes Survey 2005). As part of the general policy to create a more successful country, with increasing sustainable economic growth, the Tourism sector has agreed a target of 50% revenue growth in the ten years to 2015 The potential problem is that many people find that man made structures such as pylons and wind turbines reduce the attractiveness of a landscape. It is logical to assume that reduced quality of an important feature could reduce demand to some degree which in turn may result in either reduced prices for tourism services or reduced numbers of tourists or both.
