Windfarm Extension At Forss Business and Technology Park
19th July 2019
NOTICE OF PUBLIC EXHIBITION FOR PROPOSED WINDFARM DEVELOPMENT
FORSS BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY PARK.
Abbey Properties and Abbey Ecosse are exploring the potential for a wind farm of up to 5 turbines as an extension to the existing 6 turbines at the Forss Business & Technology Park approximately 7km west of Scrabster on the north coast of Caithness. We are looking to engage with the local community and as part of our pre-application consultation we are holding an initial public exhibition at the Forss Business & Technology Park to enable people to find out more about the proposal and to provide us with their views.
Staff from Abbey and our environmental consultants Arcus will be on hand to answer any questions or queries, and questionnaires will be available to gather feedback.
If Abbey submits a planning application there will be an opportunity to make formal representations on the application to the Highland Council. Public Exhibition Comments on the proposal must be provided in writing by either filling out a questionnaire form at the exhibition or in writing to Andy Brand, Planning Director via email: abrand@taguk.co.uk or by post to: Abbey Properties, Nene Lodge, Whittlesey, PE7 2PB.
