SUMMARY OF REPRESENTATIONS RECEIVED IN RESPONSE TO THE APPLICATION

1.0INTRODUCTION

1.1A total of 117 letters of objection have been received. The main points of concern have been summarised first below. A list of objectors then follows. Our comments on the concerns have only been provided where these are not also discussed in the main body of the report.

1.2A summary of the main points raised in the 47 letters of support is then provided.

1.3Finally the names and addresses of all those who have submitted representations have been listed.

2.0SUMMARY OF OBJECTORS COMMENTS

2.1The main concerns raised by objectors can be summarised as follows:

(a)Adverse impact on the enjoyment of the Ochil Hills for hill walking and recreation due to the visual impact on views from the main hilltops including Ben Cleuch and from the Tillicoultry to Blackford Right Of Way. This is particularly significant at this location given the easy accessibility of the western summits to the Central Scotland population. Comment: This concern has been raised in 62 of the 117 objections received and is clearly one of the significant issues related to the proposed development. This is discussed in more detail in paragraphs 7.2-7.5 of the main report.

(b)Adverse impact on the amenity and landscape quality of the area which is characterised by its sense of wildness and remoteness. Comment: The site lies to the north of the main summit and comprises open, rolling moorland which forms the foreground in views from Ben Cleuch and neighbouring summits. This immediate landscape contrasts with the developed strath further to the north and the Forth Valley to the South. The proposed development would have a significant impact on this character but would be relatively contained to the nearby summits and ridges and the right of way. We have concluded at Para 7.2(d) below that this impact would not be sufficiently detrimental to outweigh the Development Plan position. .

(c)The development would be contrary to the development plan given the site lies within the Ochil Hills Area of Great Landscape Value (AGLV). Comment: The planning policy position is discussed in Section 6.0 of the report. We have concluded that the application would not be contrary to the Development Plan. While the AGLV designation contained in the Clackmannanshire Local Plan reflects the important local landscape value of the site, it should be noted that the policy framework does not preclude renewable energy development in the AGLV.

(d)There would be an adverse impact on the tourism economy. Comment: This is discussed at paragraph 7.6 of the report. We have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the proposal would result in a quantifiable detrimental impact on tourism.

(e)The development would have adverse cumulative visual and landscape impacts with other approved or proposed wind farms. Comment: The issue of cumulative impact is also considered in Section 7.4 of the main report where it is concluded that the cumulative impacts would not be sufficient to withhold permission.

(f)The associated construction period, borrow pit and new/upgraded access roads would have an adverse impact on Glendevon, the reservoirs and the surrounding area. Comment: The construction activity generated by the development would impact on the site and surrounding area in terms of noise, activity, lighting, vehicle movements and upgrading of the access road from the A823. However, the nature and short term duration of the installation works and future decommissioning would not create any significant adverse impact within Clackmannanshire or within the surrounding area and could be satisfactorily regulated using planning conditions. The access route to the site from the A823 would be within Perth and Kinross Council’s area and it is the subject of a separate application for permission which that Council has still to determine. It is notable that the operator of the Frandy Fish Farm which is adjacent to the access road from the A823 has submitted a representation in support of the proposal

(g)The proposed route for the grid connection would have detrimental visual and landscape impacts. Comment: This is discussed at paragraph 7.3(f) of the main report. It is proposed that an alternative route that would avoid the summits and the south facing escarpment should be pursued by the applicant and a condition would be used to regulate this.

(h)The adverse visual and landscape impacts would outweigh the predicted environmental benefit associated with reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Comment: The recommendation to Committee has been reached having considered and balanced the positive and negative impacts associated with the proposed development.

(i)The development would be contrary to national and local planning policy guidance and the Council’s access strategy. Comment: The planning policy issues are discussed in more detail in Section 6.0 of the main report. On balance, the application is considered to accord with the Development Plan and relevant policy guidance.

(j)The development would adversely affect the existing habitat and wildlife. Comment: Our assessment of the details submitted by the applicant and the comments from consultees has concluded that there would be no significant detrimental impact on the existing natural heritage value of the site and therefore there would be insufficient justification to withhold permission on these grounds. The proposed mitigatory measures by the applicant should enhance the overall biodiversity value of the site.
