A range of information was made available, including visualisations to help to give an impression of what the site could look like from different viewpoints in the area, and RES staff were on hand to discuss the proposal and answer any questions that people had. The May 2022 exhibition presented the updated design, more detailed environmental information with the ability for the community to speak with the project team directly, and ask questions.
The Pre-application Consultation Report (PAC), which accompanied the application, provides further information.
Early engagement
RES believes in meaningful and effective consultation and we aim to engage early with the local community and key stakeholders in order to facilitate constructive consultation. This helps to identify issues and concerns, as well as benefits and opportunities, which we can then consider when developing the design of the proposal.
We wrote to key stakeholders, as well as the closest properties to the turbine development area of the site, to introduce the project and confirm submission of the Scoping Report. Since then we have spoken and corresponded with representatives of the local Community Councils and responded to enquiries from local residents and other interested parties that have got in touch.
