Pre-Application Consultation Report Consultee Consultee Comments and Feedback Action / Response Taken Further Information No. Type Date Received Project Description traffic and access effects are assessed in Chapter 4: Traffic and Access commissioned to assess the current proposals 4. The lifespan of this windfarm development would be likely to be some 25 years. Decommissioning of the windfarm site would take place once the site ceases operation. A financial sum or bond would be provided by windfarm developers for the decommissioning and restoration works. 5. The details of the project team and the EIA methodology will be provided in the ES. As stated in leaflet the visualisations shown are indicative and the final position of turbines may change. The visualisations have been generated using a computer model to help understand what the development might look like. Further updated visualisations will be included in the ES The draft access track layout of the proposal as consulted on at the public exhibition in October 2009 is now available on the website 6. A location for some infrastructure, such as the substation, has not yet been identified but once decided will be assessed in the EIA and reported in the ES. The timeframe for construction of the access roads, infrastructure and despoliation. 4. The lifespan of windfarms is around twenty years, yet there appears to be no mention of plans to restore the landscape to its present natural wild state. How you will address this problem is a question to which an answer is urgently requested. 5. I am particularly interested in the photo montages which were produced to support this proposal and which were published in your promotional literature. To obviate any suggest ion of them being misleading, will you please outline (a) The software used to produce them (b) The computer programming model used (c) The degree to which turbine positioning will change in the plans (d) The company contracted to undertake the photography and montage work and the costs involved. 6. What is not shown, nor mentioned, is the location, scale and timeframe of the construction of access roads and infrastructure. Please address this issue. The above constitute some of my observations on this proposal and your reply will influence the degree to which I will place objections before the planning authorities Natural Capital Ltd 22 Falck Renewables
Pre-Application Consultation Report Consultee Consultee Comments and Feedback Action / Response Taken Further Information No. Type Date Received and turbines is likely to be some nine months. As above As above Information on traffic and access effects are assessed in Chapter 4: Traffic and Access of the ES and information about the Community Fund are provided in Chapter 16: Socio Economic Effects in the ES Response by email 04.12.09: Thanked for comments Note that all comments will be collated and reported in PAC Report and when submitted with the planning application will be available on the project website In response to concerns about construction traffic passing through Eaglesham, as part of the EIA process the effects of construction and operational traffic are assessed and mitigation developed to reduce any significant effects. Further information will be available in the ES which will be submitted with the planning application As part of this development the developers (Falck) will make annual community benefit payments to a Community Fund. This fund can make payments to community projects, often acting as a seed fund to match finance where this is needed to access public funds. There will also be an opportunity to invest in the windfarm. Falck's practice is to contract with Energy4All, who will set up a co-operative, seeking investment from local people. Email 19.11.09 Consultee Copy of the first letter (received by email 21.10.09) asking for comment 15. Email 22.10.09 Homeowner No construction traffic should be allowed to Eaglesham use the B764 through the village All operatives should be encouraged to use the Moor Road from the M/A 77 at Kingswell All monies should be paid to the Community Council and tied up so that the local Council; cannot “get their hands on it” Beware of Barrack Room Lawyers trained in Philadelphia!! The Council should not be a party to the Trust which should be solely responsible for allocating the money The local Community Council must have a representative on the Trust and the legal back ground on Trustee behaviour and responsibility must be fully explained I enclose details of a Guidance note that was issued by Scottish Power about “ guidance in good Project Management Your people will probably know this already but I hope the reminder may be of use and not taken amiss Natural Capital Ltd 23 Falck Renewables
