In my post of Monday 6th September, I stated that the application for turbines at Muirake (just west of Cornhill) had been approved. As pointed out in a comment by CAWT admin, this is incorrect: they have only been recommended for approval by the local Area Committee. I reproduce the comment here, to make it more visible:
Muirake turbines have been recommended for approval by Banff & Buchan Council. As the Councillors have gone against the recommendation of the Planning Department, the proposal will be finally determined by Aberdeenshire Council Infrastructure Services Committee.

By contacting the Council in advance of the meeting, you can ask to make a representation regarding the plan. This will be your last opportunity to object to the Muirake proposal.
The ISC is separate to the Planning Committees. At a recent ISC meeting, plans for 3 x 92.5m turbines in Buchan were refused, despite Buchan Council recommending approval.
Good luck with your campaign!
These 2 giant turbines would be just 1.5 miles west of Cornhill, and 2.5 miles north east of Knock, interfering with the view of a treasured landmark. (The image in the post of 6/9/10, by the way, shows the view from Knock.)
To join the CAWT email list (highly recommended!) send email to support@cawt.co.uk or telephone 01888 544432. CAWT (Concerned About Wind Turbines) is based at Cuminestown near Turriff. Cuminestown has the misfortune to be a sort of epicentre of wind-cluster development. CAWT has now widened its concern to all of Aberdeenshire.
