Developer Galileo is set to hold a second round of public consultations with residents of the Strathdearn and Strathnairn Community Council areas for its Lynemore Wind Farm on the northern fringes of the Monadhliath Mountains, Scotland.
The exhibitions will be held on Tuesday, 29 October and Wednesday, 30 October, at the Strathdearn Hub, Tomatin, and the Farr Community Hall, Farr, following an initial round of engagement at the same venues in March earlier this year (pictured).
The developer said this further opportunity will allow residents and community stakeholders to engage directly with the project team, ask questions, and provide their feedback on the development.
The Lynemore project aims to support Scotland’s renewable energy goals while considering local environmental and community impacts, it added.
The exhibitions will provide an in-depth look at the project’s progress, proposed benefits, and ecological considerations. Representatives will be on hand to share detailed plans and gather input from attendees.
The 29 October event at the Strathdearn Hub, Tomatin, runs from 1.30pm-6pm and the 30 October exhibition at Farr Community Hall, Farr, runs from 10am-12.30pm.
Galileo project manager Neil Thompson said: “On behalf of the team behind Lynemore Farm, I am pleased to be able to display our updated proposals for the community and hope that we will once again get a good turnout at these events as working closely with local people is critical to our approach.
“We have taken onboard the feedback we have received at every stage of the design process and have made changes to our initial plans to reflect this feedback.
“The information we will be displaying at this latest round of exhibitions includes our plans for access to the site, how we will work to enhance its local amenity, and how we intend to maximise biodiversity improvements as part of the project and our commitments to the community.
“We are encouraged by the community engagement we have had to date and are now looking forward to sharing our updated proposals before we submit them to the Scottish government later this year.”
