Proposed Wind Farm at Merkins, Gartocharn

The application for Merkins Wind Farm was refused by three votes to two.
The Planning Committee met on 23 October 2013 and upheld the Planning Departments recommendations to refuse the application. They also stood by their local plan and policies.

The planning application for the proposed wind farm has now been submitted to the WDC Planning Authority. Details can be found here. Anyone wishing to comment can do so online or by writing to the Planners.

In the March 2011 edition of the Dumpling Times we printed two letters regarding the proposed wind farm. We said that any further correspondence on this matter would be available on the website.

Following on to this we have been asked to put a link to the website for  Stop Loch Lomond Wind Turbines.

Lomond Energy Limited are the company developing the site – details of the development can be seen here.
