Argyll Eagle

Dear all,
We have a potentially grave situation developing in North Argyll. WRP Wind have an advanced planning application for fourteen 110 metre high wind turbines that would sit above Loch Awe, between Oban and Inveraray.
Located in one of Scotlands most productive Golden Eagle breading areas, Stacain is predicted to kill one of these magnificent birds each year.
Argyll and Butes planners are recommending that the application is refused and Scottish Natural heritage (The Scottish Governments natural heritage advisers) have lodged a very strong objection. There is local opposition, but the area is sparsly populated and to date the local group have managed 100 objections. They face a decision on the 20th of November by the Oban area councilors, who have in the past gone against planners advice.
Please take one minute to object at www.stopstacain.com. Potentially one Golden Eagle saved for each 3 seconds of your time.
Thank you for helping the birds of North Argyll.
