New campaign group; urgent objections
Some good news - the Mey BESS Action Group has launched and with excellent coverage in the local press on dirty tricks by developers (Some may recall No to Swarclett’s Windfarm Playbook). This image on the Save Caithness home page is our interpretation of what the effect of the Mey BESS developments will have on the local landscape. Unlike the developer-supplied artists impression, this photo was taken by a normal sized person from an appropriate location! Help the Mey BESS Action Group now by simply registering you objection using their recently launched AI objection letter from this link - closing date Tuesday 3rd June
Achlachan Wind Farm 2 Redesign (25/01306/FUL) and the closing date is Friday 30th May
These two 150m turbines will make a dramatic impact on the landscape, particularly for those using the popular B870 Watten to Mybster route. This is the main route south for many residents in the Watten, Bower areas and also from places further north. Sat navs will route travellers heading to/from Gills Bay along this route also. For more details and advice see Highland Renewables Database information on Achlachan.
