TNEI has completed Environmental Impact Assessments and submitted Environmental Statements for wind farm schemes in Dorset and South Lanarkshire.
Our Glasgow office has completed the coordination of the EIA for the 18 turbine Kype Muir Extension Wind Farm Project which has been submitted under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 by Banks Renewables to the Energy Consents and Deployment Unit in Scotland. If consented the wind farm would add a further 72MW to the already consented, 26 turbine, 104MW Kype Muir Wind Farm. A decision is awaited from Scottish Ministers in consultation with South Lanarkshire Council.
In parallel our Newcastle office has just completed the EIA for the 6 turbine Slyer’s Lane Wind Farm located to the North of Dorchester in Dorset. This scheme is the latest brought forward by Broadview Energy Limited and would make a substantial contribution to Dorset’s renewable energy aspirations, delivering up to 18MW of installed generating capacity. The application has been submitted for determination to West Dorset District Council.
In both cases TNEI also provided noise monitoring and assessment, wireless services assessment and socio-economic impact assessment services as well as planning and community engagement support.
