Environmental Impact

When developing a wind farm, many environmental factors are taken into account. To assess what potential impact the proposed wind farm could have on the site and its surrounding area, experts have undertaken studies in the fields of ecology, visual impacts on the landscape, noise, aviation etcetera.

The environmental assessment also considers what measures are required to avoid or reduce any adverse environmental impacts. The subpages provide short information about the results of the surveys undertaken. An elaborate overview of results are documented in the Environmental Statement, which is available for viewing at:
