A landscape impact assessment has been undertaken to assess what the impact of the turbine will have on the landscape of Tiree.
Leading consultants in the field, Land Use Consultants (LUC) based in Glasgow, have therefore been employed to look at all aspects of the potential visual impact that the turbine could have on the island and make recommendations regarding its height, colour and location to minimize that impact.
LUC has also developed photomontages to allow planners to have some idea of how the turbine will look in the island's landscape from a variety of locations, including the approach by ferry and from the neighbouring islands of Coll and Mull.
Below are the first set of these photomontages. If you click on any of the thumbnail images the full sized image (approx 2.5Mb) will open in another window.
