Forthbank Wind Energy Development
Viewpoint 7: Fallin Village
Figure Number: CW-7a; CW –7b
Grid Reference NS 841 914 Elevation 20m AOD
Bearing 94º Direction of View: west
LCT: Lowland River Valley LCA: Carse of Forth
Distance to nearest 4.77km
Assessed Magnitude of no change
Turbine:
Change:
Cumulative Effects: None
The cumulative visibility is restricted due to the low level position of the viewpoint which allows containment of views to
the outside.
Magnitude of Change: No change
While the ZTV and wireline show that the Group 3 - Lowland Hills’ wind energy developments are theoretically visible
from this viewpoint, screening by localised landform, built form and tree cover blocks the visibility.
Significance of Effect:
No change
Viewpoint 8: A905
Figure Number: CW-8a; CW – 8b
Grid Reference NS 888 895 Elevation 10m AOD
Bearing 20º Direction of View: South east
LCT: Lowland River Valley LCA: Carse of Forth
Distance to nearest 1.38km
Assessed Magnitude of HIGH
Turbine:
Change:
Cumulative Effects:
The cumulative visibility is restricted due to the low level position of the viewpoint which allows containment of views to
the outside. In this case Dunmore Hill with its wooded areas blocks all views towards the Group 3 Lowland Hills’ wind
energy developments.
Magnitude of Cumulative Change: No change
While the ZTV and wireline show that the Group 3 Lowland Hills’ wind energy developments are theoretically visible
from this viewpoint, screening by localised landform and tree cover block the visibility.
Significance of Effect:
No change
Viewpoint 9: Dunmore Village
Figure Number: CW-9a; CW – 9b
Grid Reference NS 894 895 Elevation 6m AOD
Bearing 1º Direction of View: north
LCT: Lowland River Valley LCA: Carse of Forth
Distance to nearest
Turbine:
1.03km
Assessed Magnitude of
Change: Cumulative
visibility:
Cumulative Effects: None
The cumulative visibility is restricted due to the low level position of the viewpoint which allows containment of the
views to the outside. In this case Dunmore Hill with its wooded areas blocks all views towards the Lowland Hills where
wind energy developments such as Craigengelt and Earlsburn are operating. Inside the village the buildings block the
views to the outside.
Magnitude of Change: No change
While the ZTV and wireline show that the Group 3 Lowland Hills’ wind energy developments are theoretically visible
from this viewpoint, screening by localised landform and tree cover block the visibility.
Significance of Effect:
No change

Viewpoint 10: Path Pineapple
Figure Number: CW-10a; CW – 10b
Grid Reference NS 892 882 Elevation 15m AOD
Bearing 4º Direction of View: north
LCT: Lowland River Valley LCA: Carse of Forth
Distance to nearest 2.33km
Assessed Magnitude of negligible
Turbine:
Change:
Cumulative Effects:
The cumulative visibility is restricted by the Dunmore Woods which blocks all views towards the Gargunnock Hills
where the Group 3 Lowland Hills’ wind energy developments would be visible by wireframe.
Magnitude of Change: Negligible
While the ZTV and wireline show that the Group 3 Lowland Hills’ wind energy developments are theoretically visible
from this viewpoint, screening by localised landform and tree cover block the visibility.
Significance of Effect:
No change
