This scheme has had to be readvertised - still time to object up until 29th June. Additional survey work, regarding cultural value etc. has been produced. It is heavily biased in favour of the windfarm, and rejects the idea of Yarrows as a "relict landscape", which it clearly is - unchanged essentially since the Bronze Age, and of international value as such. Instead it is described as a landscape of the "Continuing type" and the windfarm is described as being in line with the "Dominant cultural trajectory" of the area. Cultural value is deemed to reside in the monuments' "ability to inform". This is all cooked up by AOC, who
They state
that Yarrows is only of importance in the "Caithness regional" context.
All this is complete rubbish, and needs to be challenged. No migrant
bird study was ever undertaken, and this willl have to be presented
in the spring some time, so this horrible scheme will be up for comment
later - yet again!

This web-site has been advertised as part of NPower's consultation with the public. We are invited to download information on this wind farm by entering the website. The name appears on all their documentation, and on the advertisement which they are legally required to make in the local paper . They think you are too stupid to realise that they do not actually have a website, and that you will be content with having no information. This scheme has been the subject of dirty tricks from start to finish, and on this occasion, they have been found out. However, the Campaign to Save the Yarrows Skyline has bought the website domain that was advertised, and hope to give you the real picture using the name they chose but did not bother to enact. |
