Below is an interactive map which clearly shows the concentration of developments in the area. The map includes already established, proposed, and future developments in the boundary of New Cumnock and Cumnock.
Over 500 turbines within 8 miles
Once all wind turbines are constructed or approved through planning, there will about 520 wind turbines within an 8-mile radius of New Cumnock.
The wind farms are effectively merging into one massive development. Why is this happening? Are these cumulative impacts not being considered by the planning committees?
