Forthbank Wind Energy Development
10.4.44 The view towards the proposed wind energy development is shown in Photomontage VP4c.
The proposed wind energy development would appear in the view. This view would be
changed by the proposed wind energy development, although it is noted that the current view
contains visual intrusion in the form of electricity pylons. The proposed wind energy
development would add to the visual intrusion, although the ability to understand this part of
the setting of the monument would remain unchanged.
10.4.45 Views from the Alloa Tower towards Alloa itself would remain unchanged. The proposed wind
energy development would not be visible in views towards the tower when approached along
the signposted track from the car park at Earn Court to the east.
10.4.46 The proposed wind energy development would have no physical impact on the listed building
and a minor adverse impact on its setting. The effect of the proposed wind energy
development on the listed building would be moderate adverse.
10.4.47 There are 59 Category B Listed Buildings within 1.5km of the proposed wind energy
development and within the ZTV. These are mainly located within the historic cores of Alloa
