Why is the Clatto Landscape Protection Group opposing this windfarm proposal?
It seems clear to us that this proposal is on such a massive scale that it would be totally inappropriate on Clatto Hill. As such it would have a hugely detrimental impact on our landscape in central Fife, and be an overbearing and dominant feature of the lives of hundreds of people who would live right beside it. There may be possible adverse health effects on those people as well. We also believe there would be a detrimental effect on wildlife and tourism, as well as spoil a very beautiful area for peaceful recreation. It will ruin local roads and cause major road safety problems in its construction. Taking all those factors into account, the proposal does not, in our view, comply with many of the Council’s planning policies designed to protect the very things it threatens. Such a disfigurement of our landscape in Fife should only be allowed if this were the ONLY way to develop energy from renewable sources. It is clear that onshore wind will form a relatively small part of our count
