  • Moy Estate Tomatin by Inverness
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 5.7 SOUTH PLANNING APPLICATIONS COMMITTEE PLS Report No 20 AUGUST 2013 048/13 13/01180/S36 : CARBON FREE MOY LIMITED (CFML) MOY ESTATE TOMATIN BY INVERNESS Report by Head of Planning and Building Standards SUMMARY Description : Application to increase the potential generational capacity of the consented Moy Wind Farm from 41MW to 66MW. Recommendation - Raise No Objection Ward : 20 Inverness South Development Category : Section 36 Application – Electricity Act 1989. Pre-determination Hearing : Not Required Reason referred to Committee : 5 or more objections. 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The application is to facilitate an increased power output from the 20 turbine wind farm project previously granted planning permission, on appeal, within Moy Estate. It offers a potential 66MW of generating capacity, an increase from the potential 41MW generating capacity associated with the approved scheme. 1.2 The application was submitted to the Scottish Government for approval under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989. Should Ministers approve the development, it will carry deemed planning permission under Section 57(2) of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997. The Council is a consultee on the proposed development. Should the Council object to the development, Scottish Ministers will require to hold a Public Local Inquiry to consider the development before determining the application. 1.3 As the application is not significantly different to the earlier planning application, the supporting information relies upon the Environmental Statement (ES) prepared for the planning application. In a similar way this report seeks to focus on the key differences between the applications and to update Committee on changes to those policy/material considerations relevant to the applications to help the Committee determine its position on the consultation from the Scottish Government.

  • The Glen Kyllachy Granite and Its Bearing on the Nature of the Caledonian Orogeny in Scotland
    J. geol. Soc. London, Vol. 140, 1983, pp. 47-62, 4 figs., 3 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland The Glen Kyllachy Granite and its bearing on the nature of the Caledonian Orogeny in Scotland 0. van Breemen & M. A. J. Piasecki SUMMARY:The Tomatin (Findhorn) Granite in the NW GrampianHighlands has been separatedinto two distinct complexes: alate-tectonic Glen Kyllachy Granite (tectonically foliated) and a post-tectonic Findhorn Granite (flow foliated). For the Glen Kyllachy complex, Rb-Sr analyses of muscovites from the granite and from an associated suite of cross-foliated pegmatites yield an emplacement age of 443T:5 Ma. Whole-rock Rb-Sr data support field and textural evidence that the pegmatite and granite emplacement was late-tectonic to the last (F3) phase of Caledonian folding. Initial granite X7Sr/X6Srof 0.7176 supports field and geochemical evidence of derivationfrom upper crustal metasediments first metamorphosedduring the Grenville event. For the Findhorn Granite, concordant Rb-Sr and K-Ar mineral data establish an age of 413 2 5 Ma, and an initial *'SriX6Sr of c. 0.706 indicates a lower crustal and/or mantle source. Thisage and isotopiccontrast between these granites is characteristic of the whole Grampian region, in which a plutonic hiatus between c. 440 and 415Ma coincides with the peak of sedimentary accretion in the Southern Uplands, and may be explained in terms of the lack of hydrous materials passing down the associated subduction zone. Structural, metamorphic and radiometric evidence suggests (a) that the late-F3 Glen Kyllachy pegmatites are comparable with the 442 f 7 Ma old, syn-F3 pegmatites in the N Highlands- both pegmatite suites are situated in the axial zone of the metamorphic Caledonides displaced by the GreatGlen Fault; and (b) thatthe Caledonian, c.

  • 15. Cultural Heritage
    A9 Dualling Northern Section (Dalraddy to Inverness) A9 Dualling Tomatin to Moy Stage 3 Environmental Statement 15. Cultural Heritage 15.1. Introduction 15.1.1. This chapter presents the results of the cultural heritage assessment for the Proposed Scheme. The Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB Volume 11, Section 3, Part 2: HA208/07) identifies three specific areas of interest under the overarching aspect of cultural heritage: archaeological remains, historic buildings and historic landscapes. 15.1.2. Archaeological remains consider those materials created or modified by past human activities, which includes a wide range of visible and buried artefacts, field monuments, structures and landscape features. Built heritage considers architectural, designed or other structures with a significant historical value, such as listed buildings. The historic landscape concerns perceptions that emphasise evidence of the past and its significance in shaping the present landscape. 15.1.3. Within the context of the DMRB, a cultural heritage asset is considered to be an individual archaeological site or building, a monument or group of monuments, an historic building or group of buildings and/or historic landscape. 15.1.4. In relation to archaeological remains and historic buildings the assessments have generally focussed on known sites, features, buildings and structures or sites and areas identified as having archaeological potential within the study area. 15.1.5. In relation to historic landscapes, the assessment has focussed on historic landscape types and historic landscape units within the assessment study area where social and economic activity has served to shape the landscapes in which there is a discernible awareness of their evolution.
