Dave Thompson, SNP MSP for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, has welcomed the news that the proposed wind farm at Clach Liath on the south slopes of Ben Wyvis will not proceed.
Falck, the company behind the proposal, have decided not to appeal to The Highland Council decision which rejected the wind farm application.
Commenting on this, Dave said: “I am very glad that Falck have recognised the considerable opposition to their plans, and decided not to proceed with this development. This demonstrates how the planning system works for the community accepting some development and rejecting others.
“While developments can bring economic benefits, and we have to recognise the importance of renewable energy, this proposed development would have had a severe impact on the community, and an unacceptable visual impact on the stunning views from the north side of the Black Isle.”
