These two remaining ILI applications were unanimously refused by the Planning Panel on Tuesday, primarily because the applicant had still not provided the material requested. |

It now appears that wind farms may have no benefits at all Link 11/11/11 by EPAWAccording to the European Platform Against Wind Farms (EPAW), which represents over 500 associations from 23 countries, the National Renewable Energy Action Plans adopted by EU States in June 2010 have failed to answer two essential questions: how much will be saved in greenhouse gas emissions by the EU target of 20% renewable energy by 2020, and how much will it cost Society to implement this policy (1). The Platform argues that it is a violation of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe's Aarhus Convention on Human and Environmental Rights, which is a mandatory part of EU law. (2) |

EVAG has learned that ILI have withdrawn applications for wind turbines at Kepculloch, Gowstone, Gribloch, Ballinton, Murdieston and Cuptree. They have left the applications intact at Mackeanston and Munnieston, which are near to the proposed site of the Boquhapple applications. The Boquhapple applications will be determined by the Planning Panel through the Public Hearing procedure at Stirling Council Chambers, Old Viewforth, on Monday 17th October at 11.15 a.m. EVAG will be in attendance to support the Thornhill Group who will represent the objectors and give a co-ordinated and comprehensive presentation to the Panel. We should like to thank everybody who wrote letters of objection; the number received by the Council was a huge achievement at a holiday time of year and shows the depth of concern about the ruination of the West Stirlingshire landscape, and the impacts on local communities. |

Communities Against Turbines Scotland (CATS) is hosting a Windfarm Conference at Ayr Racecourse on Friday 11 November, between 10.30 and 4.00. Good range of speakers including Struan Stevenson MEP who delivered 'The Renewable Rape of Scotland' speech at Ballantrae in August. See CATS' website for further detail and registration: http://www.communitiesagainstturbinesscotland.com/windfarm-conferenceIt's EVAG's view , because of the increasing number of wind farm applications in totally inappropriate areas, that everyone concerned about the effect on Scotland's people, landscape, wildlife and its tourism industry, should try to attend this Conference. |

19-08-11 Many people have asked EVAG why the application for the anemometer, submitted to the Council on 8 July, has not appeared on the Stirling Council's schedule. We have had confirmation today that the correct fee was not submitted with the application. The Council wrote to Banks within days of the application being submitted, requesting the correct fee, but Banks have not yet responded to the Council. |
