October 2020

Pre-Planning/Scoping Submission

We submit a ‘Scoping Request’ to the Scottish Government who seek views from statutory consultees on the level of study required for the project, such as South Ayrshire Council, NatureScot, SEPA and Scottish Forestry.

We also submit a Met Mast application (two possible locations for the installation of a single temporary, up to 90m, mast) in order to gather wind data on site.

The project then evolves as we receive feedback from all consultees, undertake technical studies and surveys and update the local communities and representatives, whilst following Scottish Government advice in relation to Covid-19.
