The farm produces up to 900 litres of milk a day to provide to a French multinational dairy products corporation.
An Ayrshire dairy farmer wants to decommission two wind turbines on his land and replace them with two larger ones to help his growing business.
As a result a planning application has been lodged with South Ayrshire Council, seeking permission for the works to be carried out. The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.Agents in the proposal are Cogeo Planning and Environmental Ltd who said in a planning statement: “Drumore Farm’s existing development consists of two proven 15kW turbines, measuring 19.8m to blade tip. Consented in 2011, the wind turbines have been providing energy for the agricultural business since then.
“There is wind energy technology present onsite, but these turbines have become unreliable, with one broken down and is no longer operating. Therefore, this repowering proposal will be of significant benefit to the applicant, providing long-term advantages of a more modern turbine typology with reliable energy generation for the growing farm business.”
