Proposed Moorhouse Farmers Windfarm - Renfrewshire Council

4. Please confirm which local neighbours you have consulted and
when this was done (the council’s guidance note indicates that
applicants should as a minimum normally consult the same
neighbours as if a planning application were to be submitted).
A representative from Coriolis Energy LLP has been in regular contact with
the landowners involved in the project and a meeting was held with the
landowners and the Environmental Project Manager following submission
of the Scoping Report in November 2008 to discuss the progress of the
proposals.
Copies of the EIA consultation letter and constraints map were provided to
landowners in March 2009 and this was followed up with a Progress
Update and revised turbine layout plan in May 2009 to inform landowners
during discussions about the proposals with their neighbours.
Adjacent properties have been consulted by letter to seek permission to
place noise meters on their land and this consultation has been ongoing
with phone calls and response letters.
While we have not formally consulted all neighbours to the site informal
consultations have taken place during site visits and we are planning to
send out an information leaflet to all properties within a two kilometre radius
of the site outlining the proposals, the progress to date and including
visualisations of the turbines in the current layout. The leaflet will provide
details on how to comment on the proposals.
We hope that the information provided is sufficient to answer your queries.
If you require any further information or would like to discuss any aspect of
the Proposal of Application Notice then please do not hesitate to contact
myself or my colleagues Dr Annie Say (Project Director) and Paddy Napier
(Project Manager).
Yours faithfully
Megan Richardson
Consultant
