Project updates

The purpose of the met mast is to collect more data to increase our knowledge of the wind resource within the site.  The application is seeking permission for a met mast up to 121m tall to be in place for up to 5 years.  Full details of the application can be viewed on Dumfries and Galloway Council’s planning portal under the application reference: 24/2261/FUL and is also available to view under the Planning Application documents.

You can still provide feedback on the proposal presented at this exhibition until the 14 October 2022. We look forward to hearing your views.

In the meantime, we continue to review comments received to date and will write to everyone, who has provided us permission to do so, in the coming weeks.

Over 900 households and businesses within c. 10km of the site have been invited to attend, and advertisements have been placed in the local newspapers, Dumfries and Galloway Standard and Galloway News. The advert will also run online on www.inyourarea.co.uk

The exhibition will provide residents and other interested parties the opportunity to review our proposal and provide their views. Since introducing our plans in March 2022, we have carried out further studies and listened to initial feedback and, reduced the tip height of two turbines (from 230m to 200m) and reduced the number of turbines from 25 to 17.

Local residents can provide their feedback in person at two local exhibition events we are hosting on:

* Wed. 7 Sept. - Glencairn Memorial Institute, Moniaive. 2pm - 7pm
* Thur. 8 Sept. - Tynron Parish Hall, Tynron. 2pm - 7pm

Or via the website here or chat to us during the online chat session between 12 noon and 2pm on 16 September 2022.

We look forward to the local community and other stakeholders taking the opportunity to review our proposals and receiving their feedback.
