Hoolan Energy has received mixed recommendation for its Costa Head and Hesta Head wind farms on Orkney.
Members of the planning committee meet on 31 August to consider the projects, which respectively feature four and five turbines of around 4MW each.
The projects received no objections from statutory consultees and Costa was recommended for approval. Planners have however urged councillors to reject Hesta due to landscape impacts.
“Both Costa Head wind farm and Hesta Head wind farm have exceptional wind speeds and are located in the Orkney Islands Council development plan as being within an area with potential for wind farm development,” said Hoolan.
“We have consulted and redesigned the projects following feedback and it is welcome that both projects have received no objections from any statutory consultees,” it added.
