Item 6 Appendix 3 - NatureScot comments - Kyllachy windfarm - 2025/0240/PAC

This document contains NatureScot's comments on the Kyllachy Wind Farm application, specifically focusing on its potential impact on the Cairngorms National Park. NatureScot believes the wind farm, planned with thirteen turbines reaching up to 180m, could significantly affect the Park's Special Landscape Qualities, particularly 'Wildness' and 'Dark Skies', due to the need for aviation lighting. They suggest reducing turbine height to avoid aviation lighting and lessen the impact, but ultimately, NatureScot doesn't think the wind farm would compromise the integrity of the National Park as a whole.
