Lineage

The Argyll and Bute Spatial Framework for onshore wind energy developments has been produced in accordance with the Groups 1 to 3 approach outlined in Scottish Planning Policy. This framework applies to all wind turbines over 50 metres high as outlined in Policy LDP 6 of the Local Development Plan. The 7 National Scenic Areas which occur within the development plan area, and the adjoining Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park comprise Group 1 areas where wind turbine developments will not be acceptable. The Group 2 areas in Argyll and Bute comprise, Natura 2000 and Ramsar Sites; Sites of Special Scientific Interest; National Nature Reserves; and sites on the Inventory of Gardens and Designed Landscapes. There are also several areas of wild land as mapped by SNH. The Carbon Rich soils, deep peat and priority peatland habitat as identified by SNH have also been mapped, as have community separation distances of 2km around those settlements identified in the Local Development Plan. These Group 2 areas, are Areas of Significant Protection where any development would be required to demonstrate that any significant effects on the qualities of these areas can be substantially overcome by siting, design or other mitigation.
