Low flying areas are tactical training areas made available for military operational low flying training, within which military fast jets and Hercules aircraft may operate to as little as 30 metres separation from the ground and other obstacles. The proliferation of obstacles within this area is not only a safety hazard but also severely impacts on its utilisation for essential low flying training. If the developer is able to overcome the issues stated above, the MOD will request that all turbines be fitted with 25 candela omni-directional red lighting or infrared lighting with an optimised flash pattern of 60 flashes per minute of 200ms to 500ms duration at the highest practicable point. MOD Safeguarding wishes to be consulted and notified about the progress of planning applications and submissions relating to this proposal to verify that it will not adversely affect defence interests. I hope this adequately explains our position on the matter. Further information about the effects of wind turbines on MOD interests can be obtained from the following website: MOD: http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/MicroSite/DIO/WhatWeDo/Operatio ns/ModSafeguarding.htm 80
14. JOINT RADIO COMPANY Name/Location: Glenmount, Ayrshire Site Centre/Turbine at NGR/IGR: 246050 600050 Development Radius: 4.5km Hub Height:90m Rotor Radius:50m This proposal cleared with respect to radio link infrastructure operated by: Scottish Power JRC analyses proposals for wind farms on behalf of the UK Fuel & Power Industry.This is to assess their potential to interfere with radio systems operated by utility companies in support of their regulatory operational requirements. In the case of this proposed wind energy development, JRC does not foresee any potential problems based on known interference scenarios and the data you have provided. However,if any details of the wind farm change, particularly the disposition or scale of any turbine(s), it will be necessary to re-evaluate the proposal. In making this judgement, JRC has used its best endeavours with the available data, although we recognise that there may be effects which are as yet unknown or inadequately predicted.JRC cannot therefore be held liable if subsequently problems arise that we have not predicted. It should be noted that this clearance pertains only to the date of its issue. As the use of the spectrum is dynamic, the use of the band is changing on an ongoing basis and consequently,developers are advised to seek re-coordination prior to considering any design changes. 15. MOUNTAINEERING COUNCIL OF SCOTLAND I can confirm that we do not intend to make a formal response to the Glenmount application. 16. NATS I attach some general guidance* from NATS regarding the potential impact upon our infrastructure and operations. Whether any potential 81
