A bid to build an almost 125 metre high wind turbine near Neilston has been rejected after planners warned it would have a “significant” detrimental impact on the landscape.recommended the application was turned down as the “scale and design of the proposed turbine” were considered “well beyond what the local area can accommodate”.
The bid to build a 66.9m high turbine received 20 objections, with a range of concerns including the noise and visual impact as well as the lack of community benefit from the installation. They added: “The closest height to the application turbine are the existing Nether Carswell turbines I and II. “This additional height and its particularly large rotor sweep results in a significantly larger active form with a resultant detrimental impact on the local landscape and aspects from local landmarks, for example Neilston Pad,” they added.
