Wind farm development in Scotland is accelerating rapidly. Considerable experience has been gained during the construction and operation of more than sixty wind farms already operating in Scotland – Natural Power has been instrumental in one in four of these already with many further sites in the pipeline. The purpose of the newly published Guide is to share that experience amongst the industry, planning authorities and those more broadly involved in the planning and development of wind farms with a firm focus on pollution prevention, nature conservation, landscape, hydrological and related issues.
