We are consulting with the public and with key stakeholders on a ‘location-specific’ community benefit scheme for ‘Orkney’s Community Wind Farm Project’.
Community benefit schemes are a well-established, integral part of renewable energy developments. They are voluntary arrangements offered by renewable energy developers to communities located near developments and are not a material consideration in a planning application.
There are two specific questions we are looking for feedback on and one more general one, as well as a question about where you reside in Orkney and two questions about the consultation itself.
Before you complete the survey, you should read our consultation guide, which you will find at
www.orkney.gov.uk/orkneycommunitybenefit.
The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
For further enquiries - for example to request a paper copy of the survey or to arrange a chat with the Project Team - please contact Kirsty Groundwater, Project Officer, Orkney Islands Council, by email on kirsty.groundwater@orkney.gov.uk or by phone on 07818508323.
The deadline for submitting comments on this consultation will be 12:00 on 26 July 2021.
Thank you for your time.
