Carn Fearna proposed wind farm application.

Today we recieved an email from Seumas Skinner, at Statkraft who wrote;-

I just wanted to let you know that we heard yesterday evening that Carn Fearna will be discussed by the North Planning Application Committee on Wednesday 5th. The Council have told us the report is online, although it isn't currently listed under Carn Fearna's entry on the planning portal and the meeting agenda isn't up yet, so we have chased this with them.

I know the CC has been waiting (as we have) for further information regarding the DPEA process in relation to Carn Fearna. Hopefully this will begin to move more rapidly after the North PAC has formalised their decision. 

We have checked The Highland Council website for the listings for NPAC for 5th August 2026 again tonight and there is still nothing listed.
As a reminder the details for this application with the ECU and DPEA are
