The material excavated from the turbine foundation area will be retained on site. Approximate Vehicle Trips Numbers shown are for in and out: Stone: 248 trips Concrete: 10 trips Reinforcement: 2 trips Cables: 4 trips General Waste: 2 trips Miscellaneous: 2 trips Plant: Low loader – 20t excavator x 2 Low loader – 8t excavator x 2 Dump truck x 2 Abnormal Loads: Crane x 2 Total: 284 Low Loader x 2 – crane equipment Turbine x 6 – the turbine arrives in 3 parts, column blades and nacelle Should suitable material be found on site, including concrete batching, the numbers indicated could be reduced. 3.10.4 Right of Way The OS mapping of the site and the information held by the Local Authority do not denote any paths crossing the site. The small number of tracks that are denoted are expected to be farm tracks and their status as public rights of way is very unlikely. A site visit confirmed that there are no tracks adjacent to the proposed wind turbine location. 3.11 Aviation/NATS/MOD & Telecommunication 3.11.1 Aviation/NATS/MOD Wind turbine interaction with aviation operations, civil and military aerodromes and other air navigation service providers, present two main obstructions. 1) Physical obstruction 2) Impact on radar services It is understood that the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and National Air Traffic Control Services Ltd (NATS) will need to be consulted over the propose wind turbine site. The “Wind Farm Developers Application Proforma” was sent on the 12 nd October 2011 to the MOD and CAA in relation to the erection of the proposed wind turbine and we are awaiting a response.

Self assessment maps show that the site; • Appears to be outwith a Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) zone • is in an area of concern with MOD/MET office radar for larger wind farms • is in an area with no military flying concerns • appears to fall within a Civil Aviation Aerodrome or Consultation Zone Maps are also available through NATS EN-Route Plc (NERL), which are designed to aid developers in understanding where interference with NERL infrastructure is likely. The maps provide guidance and do not represent no-go areas nor do they represent an exhaustive list of areas which will be affected. The proposed turbine position is within 15 nautical miles of a Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) and it is within 10km of a Navigation Aids (NAV) consultation zones. Air Traffic Services would carry out a full in-depth assessment, upon receiving a turbine application. It is outwith10km from an Air Ground Air (AGA) zone. In addition, the proposed site with a 45.9m to tip wind turbine on it is not within 10km of an Air-Ground-Air or Navigation Aid site or within the detection zone of NERL’s Primary Surveillance Radar. Five civil aviation primary surveillance radar (PSR) positions were identified as listed in Table 3 below. On examining the distance from the identified PSRs, it was established that it is unlikely that any, other than Glasgow PSRs, would be affected. Therefore, radar lines-of-site were analysed to identify the likelihood of the Glasgow’s radar being affected by the development. From this it is considered possible that Glasgow PSR could be affected as it is visible. However, it should be noted that being visible to radar does not always mean that there will be a sustained objection as buildings or trees may shield the proposed development, the radar operator may have no operational concerns and the turbine may be a significant distance from the radar so as not to cause clutter. The lines-of- sight for the PSRs are shown in Appendix I. In addition to the above airport PSRs, Aberdeen, Wick, Inverness and Campbeltown airports were also investigated. However, owing to all being over 50km from the proposed turbine site, it was assumed they will be unaffected by the proposed development.
