Catterline, Kinneff & Dunnottar Community Council

The Hillhead of Auquhirie Wind Farm Community Fund is now open for applications from the following Community Council areas:

• Arbuthnott
• Catterline, Kinneff and Dunnottar
• Mearns
• Stonehaven & District
  

A copy of the application form is attached, in both PDF and Word formats, as well as a PDF copy of the guidance sheet. Applications have to be submitted by the 31st July 2019. For 2019, the total fund available is just over £12,523.

Last Tuesday's general meeting was the first after the summer break, and was well attended. The Community Council were joined by several Aberdeenshire Councillors, and many issues that have come up over the summer months were discussed.

The application for three wind turbines at Hillhead of Auquhirie has been resubmitted, with slight modification to the location of two of the turbines, and the Environmental Impact Statement  has also been published. Aberdeenshire Council will be contacting anyone who commented on the previous application to inform them of the change and invite the submission of new comments, and the Community Council will be resubmitting their comments  to ensure that they are added to the new planning file.
