The Proposal

Located approximately 2.2 km (4 km to the centre of the site) due south of the village of Gargunnock, Stirling
Comprises 7 turbines: 3 turbines with a blade tip height of up to 149.9m and 4 with a blade tip height of up to 135m. The wind turbines will be accompanied by a battery energy storage system and associated infrastructure such as a temporary meteorological mast, internal access roads and on-site substation. Underground cables will connect it to the grid network
Offers a community benefit fund to be developed and shaped by local people, worth around £5,000 per installed MW
Has completed bird and additional ecological surveys and other technical assessments
Has strengthened the proposed habitat management proposals to enhance biodiversity
Was subject to an application under Section 36 of the Electricity Act (1989) because the installed capacity of the windfarm is likely to be above 50MW; as such, it was determined by Scottish Ministers, receiving consent on 16 December 2025.
