  • Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager
    Report No. 16/95 Perth and Kinross Council Development Management Committee – 11 May 2016 Report of Handling by Development Quality Manager Erection of a wind farm comprising 14 turbines (6 within Perth and Kinross and 8 within Angus), access track, borrow pits, anemometer mast and ancillary works known as Saddlehill Windfarm, Land at Black Hill, Glen Isla Ref. No: 14/01993/FLM Ward No: 3 - Blairgowrie and Glens Summary This report recommends refusal of the application for the erection of six turbines and associated infrastructure, on land within Perth and Kinross Council’s administrative area, as the location, prominence, scale and layout of the proposed windfarm would have unacceptable adverse landscape impacts. Including cumulative landscape impacts on the immediate landscape character as well as the wider landscape setting and the Highland Boundary Fault. Additionally the windfarm has significant and unacceptable visual impacts, including cumulative landscape impacts on residential, recreational and tourist receptors. In light if the above and the adverse impact on the setting of scheduled ancient monuments it is considered that the magnitude of the adverse effects associated with the development are significant and environmentally unacceptable. The proposal is not considered to comply with the overriding thrust of the development plan and there are no material considerations of sufficient weight which would justify departing from the development plan. Accordingly the application should be refused. It should be noted that Angus Council has refused the application for the eight turbines within their administrative Area. PROPOSAL 1 The windfarm application site straddles the administrative boundaries of Perth and Kinross Council and Angus Council.
