Developer Galileo is preparing to conduct a second round of public consultations with residents of the Strathdearn and Strathnairn Community Council areas regarding its Lynemore Wind Farm project, located on the northern fringes of the Monadhliath Mountains in Scotland.
The exhibitions will take place on Tuesday, 29 October, and Wednesday, 30 October, at the Strathdearn Hub in Tomatin and the Farr Community Hall in Farr. This follows an initial round of engagement held at the same venues in March of this year.
The developer noted that this round of consultations will offer residents and community stakeholders the chance to engage directly with the project team, ask questions, and provide feedback on the proposed development.
The Lynemore project aims to support Scotland's renewable energy objectives while taking into account local environmental and community impacts. The exhibitions will provide a comprehensive overview of the project's progress, proposed benefits, and ecological considerations. Project representatives will be available to present detailed plans and gather input from attendees.
The event at the Strathdearn Hub will run from 1:30 PM to 6 PM on 29 October, while the exhibition at Farr Community Hall is scheduled for 10 AM to 12:30 PM on 30 October.
Galileo project manager Neil Thompson expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming consultations, stating: “On behalf of the team behind Lynemore Farm, I am pleased to be able to display our updated proposals for the community and hope that we will once again get a good turnout at these events, as working closely with local people is critical to our approach.
“We have taken onboard the feedback we have received at every stage of the design process and have made changes to our initial plans to reflect this feedback. The information we will be displaying at this latest round of exhibitions includes our plans for access to the site, how we will work to enhance its local amenity, and how we intend to maximise biodiversity improvements as part of the project and our commitments to the community.
“We are encouraged by the community engagement we have had to date and are now looking forward to sharing our updated proposals before we submit them to the Scottish government later this year.”
