This document contains information regarding the Cairngorms National Park Authority's (Park Authority) planning committee agenda item concerning the proposed Cloiche wind farm. Scottish Government Energy Consents & Deployment Unit (ECDU) is consulting on the application for the wind farm, which would be located southwest of the Cairngorms National Park. The Park Authority's planning officer recommends objecting to the proposal. NatureScot's (formerly Scottish Natural Heritage, SNH) advice highlights the significant adverse effects the wind farm would have on the Park's landscape and special landscape qualities (SLQs), both on its own and when added to existing and approved wind farms. The Park Authority has to make sure that any plans line up with the Scottish Planning Policy (SPP) and the National Park Partnership Plan (NPPP). The Park Authority objects to the proposed wind farm because it does not meet the policy requirements in the National Park Partnership Plan 2017–2022.
