  • Draft Minute No.62 Minute of Beauly Community Council Meeting Held
    Draft Minute No.62 Minute of Beauly Community Council Meeting held on Monday, 27th January, 2014 at 7pm in Phipps Hall Present: C.Council: Jim Stewart, Seona Fraser, Maratena Coleman, James Campbell, Belle Maxwell, Rosie McDonald, Tony Boyland HC Member: Cllrs Helen Carmichael and Drew Hendry Public: Ivor Campbell Police: PC MacLean Guests: Sir John Lister-Kaye, Lyndsey Ward, Denise Davis Apologies: Jane Campbell Before the meeting commenced, the Chair, Tony Boyland, welcomed Sir John Lister-Kay and invited him to give his presentation opposing the proposed wind farm at Erchless/Breakachy/Farley. Sir John thanked the Chair for the opportunity and the following is a very brief summary of his presentation. Planning application for the proposed wind farm will not come in for some time but he felt it was such a serious threat to so many people that he is gathering all the support possible - not to reduce the number of turbines, not to move it further into the Glen, but to stop it all together. He then gave a history of his involvement in various environmental bodies and his commitment to the countryside. He said that the best assets the Highlands has are its scenery and its wildlife. He condemned absent landlords. He mentioned the effect that such a wind farm would have on the bats, kites, ospreys and golden eagles. Finally, Sir John discussed community benefit and asked that Beauly CC do not enter into any negotiations with the developers unless, or until, planning approval is obtained. The Chair thanked Sir John for a very interesting presentation.

As such it is difficult to offer a meaningful snapshot of how the park looked at the date of registration without reference to contemporary documents which vary both in availability and comprehensiveness. An additional complication is the changes in CCS policy, which initially required the park to be substantially complete before registration, but later made a concession to allow partly-ready parks to register before they actually opened, a concession which was later withdrawn as meaningless.
