Item 6 - committee report - Kyllachy wind farm - 2025/0240/PAC

This document contains a windfarm committee report regarding the proposed Kyllachy Wind Farm, an application for the construction and operation of a windfarm and energy storage facility with 13 wind turbines, each with a maximum blade tip height of 180m. The proposed site is located near the Cairngorms National Park, and the Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit (ECU) is consulting on the application. The Cairngorms National Park Authority is recommending no objection to the project, but suggests the applicant explore reducing the turbine height to remove the need for aviation lighting. The report also considers the potential impact on the landscape and special qualities of the National Park, referencing advice from NatureScot.
