The importance of writing
Every letter or email of support will count! The Scottish Executive and Highland Council have an obligation to record and acknowledge every letter of support that is submitted to them. Individual letters of support can carry more weight than standard letters. However, each letter will be included in the officer’s report to members and letters will be available for members of the planning committee and members of the public to read.

Letters of support can be as long or as short as you like and can include any of all of the following topics:

•

Will help to combat global warming and climate change

•

Renewable energy is the way forward and we cannot continue to use depleting supplies of coal, gas and oil

•

Lochluichart wind farm will generate enough clean, green electricity for 37,000 homes

•

Wind turbines are attractive and will not spoil the landscape

•

The site is ideal for the development of a wind farm

•

Scottish Ministers are firmly committed to developing a renewable energy policy that takes full advantage of Scotland's massive renewables potential both in response to climate change, and as a measure to promote the Scottish economy particularly in rural areas.

•

Wind farm developments are in line with Scottish government plans. National Planning Policy Guidance Note 6, a national government guideline, gives broad backing to wind farms in the UK.

•

Wind energy is essential if we are to mitigate climate change. The recent extreme weather event in the southern USA, the significant reduction of the Arctic Ice Sheets and the melting of Siberia’s permafrost have been linked to man-made climate change and testify to the urgency of this issue - DOING NOTHING IS NOT AN OPTION!

•

Wind energy is essential if we are to reach our regional and national renewable energy targets for 2010 and beyond.

•

The Lochluichart site is an excellent one for wind energy - there will be no unacceptable adverse effects to wildlife, or people.

•

The Lochluichart wind farm will benefit local people through local contracts and targeted community funding for the next 20-25 years.

•

Climate change poses a threat to the future of the planet. It could bring water and food shortages to millions of people around the world and put hundreds of thousands of plants and animals under threat of extinction.

•

Here in the UK, we are already seeing changes in our weather as floods, storms, droughts and heat waves occur. All could become more frequent and more severe.
