Item 9 Appendix 3 Dornell Windfarm PRE20260004

This document contains NatureScot's comments and objection to the Dorenell Extension Wind Farm proposal, which involves 67 turbines up to 250 metres tall near the Cairngorms National Park (CNP). NatureScot believes the proposal would significantly harm the special qualities of the National Park, particularly affecting landscape and visual aspects in areas like Glenbuchat and the Braes of Glenlivet, and it doesn't meet planning policy. To resolve this, they recommend specific changes, including removing or relocating several turbines and reducing their size to lessen their visual impact from sensitive viewpoints, also suggesting radar-activated lighting to reduce visible aviation lights.
