CARN FEARNA WIND FARM PUBLIC EXHIBITION PREDICTED VIEWS
21 November – 23 November 2023
Predicted Views
Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV)
We have agreed a range of viewpoints with The Highland Council and NatureScot to ensure the most suitable locations are selected to illustrate the visibility of the wind farm. These have helped to inform our decisions on siting turbines.

The ZTV illustrates the theoretical visibility of the Proposed Development, based on what is referred to as a “bare earth” model. It does not include the screening effect of ground cover features, such as woodland, vegetation and buildings, which can reduce the extent of actual visibility of wind turbines from some locations.
