Introduction 1.1 Introduction This Non-Technical Summary (NTS) has been produced for the purpose of summarising the key findings of the Corriemoillie Wind Farm Environmental Statement Addendum in a clear and concise format to allow interested parties to understand the elements of Corriemoillie Wind Farm and its likely significant environmental effects In April 2011 the Highland Council granted planning permission for Corriemoillie Wind Farm comprising 19 wind turbines with an anticipated maximum generating capacity of 47.5MW, at a maximum tip height of 125m and a maximum tower height of 80m, together with associated infrastructure ( the permitted Wind Farm ) EDF ER wishes to maximise the electricity produced by the permitted Wind Farm and is seeking to increase its generating capacity from the anticipated 47.5MW to a maximum output of 60.8MW by changing the type of turbine to be installed (the Revised Wind Farm ). However, this would not entail any change to either the number of turbines to be installed, their maximum tip height of the approved location of the turbines and associated infrastructure. Due to the increase in generating capacity to be over 50MW, an application is required to be made to Scottish Minsters for their consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act This NTS forms part of the Environmental Statement Addendum (ES Addendum), that has been prepared by Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure Ltd (Amec Foster Wheeler) on behalf of EDF Energy Renewables (hereinafter referred to as EDF ER), to accompany this application.

Background 2.1 Background Interest in renewable energy production (such as that produced by a wind farm) has arisen in response to growing concern about the rise in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases, and the changes in the global climate that this could be causing. Burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas) is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing their use and increasing the proportion of power generated from renewable energy sources is seen as a vital part of reducing these emissions, notwithstanding that increasing energy efficiency also has a vital role to play in this process In order to meet international obligations, the UK and Scottish governments are both committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to reduce the level of future climate change. It is expected by the UK Government that a significant proportion of the renewable power generation capacity required to reduce and replace fossil fuel generation will come in the short term from onshore wind generation as it is a proven technology, whereas many alternatives are considered to be insufficiently cost effective, or unable to provide the level of output required in the timescales available. As the UK has one of the windiest climates in Europe, it has great potential to generate electricity from wind power, and the revised Wind Farm would contribute towards renewable generation capacity. 2.2 The Applicant EDF ER is a renewable energy company, jointly owned by EDF Energy plc ( EDF Energy ) and EDF Energies Nouvelles. EDF ER is the main vehicle for developing, constructing and operating wind farm projects within the UK on behalf of EDF Energy and EDF EN. At the time of submission EDF ER has a combined UK renewable portfolio of 764MW comprising projects that are either operational (598MW), in construction (78MW) or consented (274MW) plus a large portfolio of projects in development. EDF Energy is one of the largest energy companies in the UK, supplying around 6 million residential and business accounts with electricity and/or gas and producing around one-fifth (20%) of the nation s electricity. 2.3 The Agents The Environmental Impact Assessment has been managed by Amec Foster Wheeler who also coordinated production of the Environmental Statement. Amec Foster Wheeler is one of the UK s leading environmental and engineering consultancies and are Registered Environmental Impact Assessors under an accreditation scheme run by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment: the principal professional body for Environmental Impact Assessment in the UK.

The Development Proposal 3.1 The Development Site The application site encompasses the existing Corriemoillie Wind Farm site that was granted planning permission in The site in a wider geographical context is shown in Figure 1.1, with the more localised view of the application site boundary shown in Figure 1.2, both of which can be found in Appendix A of this document The nearest settlement to the application site is Garve, which is located approximately 7km to the northwest. Loch Glascarnoch is approximately 2km to the north of the site boundary and Lochluichart is located 3km to the south of the site boundary. The site falls entirely within the administrative boundary of the Highland Council. The site is adjacent to the operational 17-turbine Lochluichart Wind Farm and 6-turbine Lochluichart Extension as shown in Figure 1.3 included in Appendix A The total area of the wind farm site is approximately 419 hectare (excluding access track) and its highest point is 410m above ordnance datum (AOD). The area surrounding the wind farm site is dominated by moorland and areas of plantation forest. The A835 is approximately 1.5km north of the site and A832 lies approximately 2km to the south. There are no residential properties located on or within 2km of the application site. 3.2 The Revised Wind Farm The revised Wind Farm seeks consent to increase the generating capacity of the permitted Wind Farm to a maximum output of 60.8MW by using a different type of turbine (the GE ) than the candidate turbine identified in the documentation supporting the application for the permitted Wind Farm. Table 3.1 sets out the proposed changes. Table 3.1 Comparison of Turbines Candidate Turbine 2010 ES Revised Wind Farm (the GE ) Difference Tip Height 125m 125m 0m Hub Height 80m 73.5m -6.5m Blade Length 45m 51.5m (incl. hub) 50.2m (excl. hub) +6.5m Rotor Diameter 90m 103m +13m Power Output 2.5MW 3.2MW +0.7MW Maximum Generating Capacity 47.5MW 60.8MW +13.3MW For clarity there will be no change to the maximum tip height of 125m and no changes are proposed to site layout. However, it should be noted that the current planning permission does allow the wind turbines and access tracks to be moved up to a distance of 30m from their approved position if required during construction (known as micro-siting) in accordance with the terms of the current planning permission The Highland Council has already consented to the use of the GE turbine to implement the existing planning permission and this turbine model is currently being installed on site, following the commencement of construction in September 2015 subsequent to confirmation from The Highland

10 10 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited council that all suspensive conditions had been discharged. EDF ER will ensure that the constructed wind farm does not operate in excess of 50MW if the s36 consent sought is not forthcoming to permit the increase in generating capacity The main development components of the revised Wind Farm remain the same as those of the permitted Wind Farm and include: 5 borrow pits; One permanent anemometer mast; Wind farm control building; Transformers and cables from the wind turbines to the wind farm control building; Upgrade and construction of access tracks; Crane hard standing areas; Temporary construction compound; and Temporary lay-down area In addition, some temporary development / work would be undertaken e.g. construction compound and the establishment of borrow pits for the provision of construction materials. The borrow pits would be reinstated upon completion of construction of the Wind Farm The planned operational life of the Wind Farm is up to 26 years and for the purposes of the assessment presented in the ES Addendum and 2010 ES, it is assumed that the wind farm will be decommissioned after this period.

11 11 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited 4. Consultation Consultation is a vital part of the EIA process, both to agree what work should be carried out (referred to as the scope of work culminating in the scoping opinion received from the ECDU in October 2015) and to understand public perception of the development in order to help in the design process. Consultation, including with the public, was undertaken throughout the development of the design of the revised Wind Farm Consultation with statutory consultees was undertaken through the formal scoping process and responses were received from the Highland Council; Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA); and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Consultation was undertaken with: Transport Scotland, Scotways*, Mountaineering Council of Scotland*, British Horse Society (BHS)*, John Muir Trust*; Historic Scotland, Visit Scotland*; Marine Scotland Science, Association of Salmon Fishery Board*, Scottish Wildlife Trust*, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB); Health and Safety Executive; The Crown Estate; Scottish Water, Microwave link operators (BT, Joint Radio Company); Defence Infrastructure Organisation (MoD, National Air Traffic Services (NATS), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Highlands and Islands Airport Ltd; Garve and District Community Council*, Contin Community Council*, Strathpeffer Community Council*, Marybank, Scatwell & Strathconon Community Council*. *Responses not received through the scoping exercise EDF ER also engaged with the community through other mechanisms such as correspondence with local ward councillors, consultation with community councils and two rounds of public exhibitions which were held in May and June 2015 at Garve Village Hall In addition to this EDF ER also corresponded with local ward councillors and met with the community councils to discuss the proposal in detail.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) 5.1 Approach to Assessment The potential significant effects identified during the scoping exercise were subject to detailed assessment, using methodologies appropriate to the different environmental topics that need to be considered as part of an EIA. These methodologies were based on recognised good practice. Summaries of the environmental topics and the assessment findings are set out below. 5.2 Electricity Generation and Carbon Savings Taking into account that the turbines would not operate at full capacity 1 all of the time, the amount of electricity produced by the revised Wind Farm has been estimated to be in the order of 143,804MWh 2 per year which would be equivalent to the approximate domestic needs of approximately 29,016 3 domestic homes in the UK It is widely accepted that electricity production from wind energy has a positive benefit with regard to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Between 52,675 and 66,416 tonnes of CO2 may be saved each year as a result of the generation of electricity by the revised Wind Farm rather than conventional power stations using a range of fuel sources. Over its lifetime, the revised Wind Farm may save between 1,369,550 and 1,726,816 tonnes of CO2 emissions. 5.3 Renewable Energy Policy The Renewable Energy Progress Report (16 June 2015) highlights that the UK is a Member State that needs to assess whether its policies are sufficient and effective in meeting renewable energy objectives, as the UK is anticipated to fall short of its legally binding 2020 target. Paragraph 17 of the Electricity Generation Policy Statement states that the Scottish Government estimates that the 100% target will require around 14 16GW of installed capacity to be deployed. Figures released from the Scottish Government show that as of March 2015, Scotland had 7.4 GW of installed renewable electricity generation capacity, with an additional 8.9 GW of capacity either under construction or consented. However there is no certainty that all or most of the consented schemes will move forward to construction, which is accentuated by the early close of the Renewables Obligation. It therefore remains that there is a real and significant shortfall against the Scottish 2020 renewable electricity generation target All of the renewable energy statistics published by the Scottish Government in recent years demonstrate that additional renewable energy capacity is still needed in order to achieve Scotland s ambitious renewable energy and decarbonisation targets, and to enable the UK to meet the legally binding target of generating 15% of all energy from renewable sources by 2020 against which there is a clear deficit as the actual renewable energy generation in 2014 was 7%. 1 It should be noted that the predicted capacity factor for the Proposed Development is subject to confirmation following the completion of wind monitoring on-site; however it is considered reasonable to use the figure of 27% as this is the long term average (over the last 6 years) load factor figure for the Scotland published by Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), Energy Trends Section 6: Renewables (ET6.1 Renewable Electricity Capacity and Generation, June September Capacity factor for Scotland - 27%. 2 Using a 27% capacity factor, figures are derived as follows: 60.8 MW ( MW turbine) 8,760 hours/year 0.27 (capacity factor) = 143,804 MWh. 3 This is calculated using the most recent statistics from the DECC showing that annual local (Highland) average domestic household consumption is 4,956 kwh.

14 14 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited 5.4 Landscape and Visual Impact A review of the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, which was included in the ES 2010, was undertaken by chartered landscape architects in relation to the revised turbine specification The methodology was updated, with consideration of new guidance and agreed through consultation with Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and The Highland Council, which accords to the Guidelines for Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment, Third Edition (The Landscape Institute and the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, 2013) A review of baseline receptors within the 35km study area was carried out and the baseline was updated with changes which include the following: Identification of Wild Land Areas which replace Search Areas for Wild Land; Changes to the Core Path network; all of which are outwith the zone of theoretical visibility (ZTV); and The change in name of Areas of Great Landscape Value to Special Landscape Areas with an accompanying small extension of the western boundary of the Fannichs, Beinn Dearg and Glencalvie locally designated area Following the identification of Wild Land Areas (WLA) in 2014 by SNH, as part of the National Planning Framework 3 and the Scottish Planning Policy, a standalone Wild land assessment was carried out (Appendix A) in accordance with SNH guidance entitled Assessing the Impacts on Wild Land Interim Guidance Note, SNH (February ) An updated cumulative search was undertaken within the 35km study area The updated assessment has concluded that there would be no change to the landscape, visual and cumulative effects as follows: There will be a small and almost imperceptible variation to the proportions of individual turbines which will have a barely perceptible effect on the overall visual composition of the wind farm; There has been little change to the baseline landscape and visual receptors included in the revised assessment (as listed above); There would be no change to the blade tip ZTV and a reduction in overall hub height visibility; There will be no change and no additional significant adverse effects on landscape character; There will be no change and no additional significant adverse effects on designated landscapes; An assessment of potential effects on Wild Land Areas has identified no significant effects; There will be no change and no additional significant adverse effects on visual and sequential receptors; Despite changes to the cumulative baseline of existing and consented wind farms and wind farm applications there would substantially be no change to the level and significance of cumulative effects on landscape and visual receptors. 5.5 Ecology Potential effects of the revised Wind Farm on habitats and animal species have been assessed using data collected for the 2010 ES together with data from additional field surveys that were carried out in October/November 2014 to discharge planning conditions for the permitted Wind Farm. An updated botanical survey found that the habitats within the site are currently in a 4 In October 2014 an additional note was added to this document noting that the guidance would be reviewed following SPP 2014 and that Wild Land Areas supersede Search Areas for Wild Land.

15 15 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited transitional phase following the felling of commercial planted woodland plantation. This is likely to result in more diverse and ecologically valuable habitats, particularly on former forested areas, but the exact nature of these habitats remains somewhat uncertain at this stage whilst plant communities are beginning to establish. Protected species surveys undertaken in 2014 recorded recent evidence of otter activity within the Site and widespread evidence of water vole activity, both in line with the findings of the 2010 ES Taking into account the updated survey findings, the predicted effects of the revised Wind Farm on habitats and animal species are unchanged from those presented within the 2010 ES. No additional mitigation measures are necessary and no significant adverse effects are predicted. 5.6 Ornithology The 2010 ES that accompanied the planning application for the now permitted Corriemoillie Wind Farm assessed the likely effects of its construction, operation and decommissioning. The 2010 ES concluded that provided that mitigation and best practice measures were followed, including the establishment of a turbine free flight corridor and construction phase exclusion zones where necessary, there would be no significant effects on valued ornithological receptors. Furthermore, it was concluded that the proposed Habitat Management Plan (secured by condition attached to the planning permission) would have a positive impact on breeding moorland birds including black grouse, golden plover, skylark and greenshank Due to this proposal only changing the hub height and blade length dimensions of the proposed turbines, and not the maximum tip height or locations, the potential effects on birds remain as described within the 2010 ES with one single potential exception. This exception is the potential collision mortality, which could be influenced by the changes in turbine dimensions. As such, updating the collision risk modelling (CRM) and subsequent assessment of collision mortality has been undertaken CRM was presented in the 2010 ES for seven species of bird recorded at sufficient frequency within the wind farm development envelope at potential collision height to warrant assessment. The models for pink-footed goose, red-throated diver, golden eagle, red kite, hen harrier, golden plover and greenshank have therefore been re-ran to take account of the proposed change in turbine dimensions and corresponding changes to collision risk height. In comparing the theoretical collision risk of these species in the 2010 assessment with the revised risk in this assessment, there are only very minor differences. The conclusion reached in the 2010 ES, i.e. that there would be no significant collision risk to birds as a result of the now permitted Corriemoillie Wind Farm, remains the case for the revised Wind Farm employing the higher rated turbine with the dimensions noted above. 5.7 Forestry This topic has been scoped out of the EIA for the revised Wind Farm The permitted Wind Farm was proposed on a site of commercially planted woodland plantation. The permission encompassed the felling of most of this plantation prior to the Wind Farm construction commencing. This felling has now been undertaken although the felled trees have only been removed from certain areas close to the existing site tracks to date. 5.8 Hydrology, Geology & Hydrogeology Potential effects of the revised Wind Farm on hydrology, hydrogeology and geology have been assessed using data collected for the 2010 ES together with data from additional ecological field surveys that were carried out in October/November 2014, to discharge planning conditions for the permitted Wind Farm and updated online data sources. A National Vegetation Classification survey provided data regarding groundwater dependent terrestrial ecosystems.

16 16 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited Taking into account the updated survey and online data findings, the predicted effects of the revised Wind Farm on hydrology, hydrogeology and geology are unchanged from those presented within the 2010 ES, and are negligible to minor. No additional mitigation measures for the revised Wind Farm beyond those presented in the 2010 ES are necessary and no significant adverse effects are predicted. 5.9 Cultural Heritage The potential effects on the historic environment of the revised Corriemoillie Wind Farm have been assessed. These effects can arise either directly, through material disturbance of or damage to heritage assets, or indirectly through bringing about a change in the setting of a heritage asset which affects the way in which that asset is experienced This assessment draws on the submitted Environmental Statement for the permitted Corriemoillie Wind Farm, a renewed search of the Historic Environment Scotland spatial datasets of designated heritage assets and fieldwork carried out as part of the discharge of planning conditions for the permitted Wind Farm No known heritage assets would be affected by the permitted Wind Farm and the potential for previously unrecorded features to be present is restricted by disturbance caused by the forestry plantation which formerly occupied the site. The potential for indirect effects is limited by the relatively small number of designated heritage assets within the vicinity of the site, most of which are screened from the revised Wind Farm by the underlying topography, shelter planting and or forestry plantation. There would be some views of the revised Wind Farm from the Category B listed Dam at Loch Glascarnoch, but these views would not affect any of the key views of the Dam and would not affect the viewer s ability to understand or appreciate the asset No significant adverse effects will arise Noise An assessment considering noise from the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Development Site has been undertaken. For the operational phase of the development, the assessment considers compliance with the existing noise limit(s) set out in condition 22 of the extant planning permission for the permitted Wind Farm The assessment shows that the separation distance between the construction areas and receptors is sufficient to ensure that any construction noise effects would not cause undue disturbance. It is assumed that decommissioning noise would be generally less or, at most, similar to that experienced during the construction period. Therefore, no adverse effects are anticipated with respect to noise from construction and decommissioning activities Details of the proposed operational assessment methodology, as outlined within this report, were submitted in the form of a technical note (June 2015, 15368i1), and agreed with Robin Fraser, Environmental Health Officer at The Highland Council, via on 25 th June It was agreed that the Development Site would need to meet the same noise limits, as set out within Condition 22 of the extant planning consent for the permitted Corriemoillie Wind Farm. It was also agreed that no baseline noise monitoring would be required As shown in the operational noise assessment, the noise immissions from the Proposed Development meet the associated noise limits set out within Condition 22 of the extant planning condition when considering each of the candidate turbine types This is in keeping with the findings of the ES for the permitted Wind Farm as in the 2010 ES, which indicated noise immissions would meet the associated noise limits at each assessed noise sensitive receptor and confirms that condition 22 of the extent planning permission remains the appropriate control for operational noise from the revised Wind Farm.

17 17 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited 5.11 Traffic and Transport The change incorporated in the revised Wind Farm proposal is a change to the candidate turbine. The proposed candidate turbine for the revised Wind Farm is within the maximum hub and tip height dimensions permitted pursuant to the April 2011 planning permission. No other alterations to site infrastructure or turbine layout are proposed. Therefore, no consequential amendments are required in terms of access and traffic generation potential and the details remain as per the permitted Wind Farm A review of the local highway network has been undertaken to determine whether there have been any significant changes to the baseline information which informed the 2010 ES assessment. In conjunction with this, all traffic flows and personal injury accident data statistics have been updated and a re-assessment of the traffic flow effects has been undertaken. Furthermore, an assessment of the route for the delivery of the turbines between the Port of Invergordon and the Wind Farm site (A9 A835) has determined that it can accommodate a larger blade length The revised assessment has concluded that there are no material changes between the previous and current assessment. The assessment concludes that the effects of the proposed change will be negligible Socio-Economics In terms of Socio-Economics, the potential changes to employment and economy as a result of the revised Wind Farm have been considered The operational effects of the revised Wind Farm, whether individually or cumulatively, are not predicted to result in significant socio-economic effects During its operational phase, employment related to operations and maintenance for the revised Wind Farm could directly support up to 64 FTE jobs, of which up to 27 FTE jobs would be likely to be within Highland and up to 37 FTE jobs would be likely to be within Scotland. Other employment is also likely to be supported or generated through induced and indirect economic and employment effects throughout all phases of the revised Wind Farm In addition to the operational benefits, further benefits relating to the proposed community benefit fund would result in significant local level benefit. This fund would amount up to 304,000 per annum and a total community benefit fund of 7,904,000 over the lifetime of the revised Wind Farm Other Considerations An assessment considering the potential effects of the revised Wind Farm in relation to communications, aeronautical interests, other infrastructure, shadow flicker, waste and peat management and safety and security has been undertaken Consultation has been carried out with organisations that own or operate infrastructure and it has been confirmed that there is no utility infrastructure within the application site boundary in terms of gas, water and telecommunications that could be affected by the revised Wind Farm There is no communications or broadcast equipment in the area that will be impacted by the revised Wind Farm and no objections have been raised with regards aeronautical interests (civil and military). No changes are proposed to the approved location of the turbines or infrastructure and other known infrastructure (utility companies etc.) will not be impacted by the siting of turbines or other works associated with constructing the wind farm. In terms of shadow flicker, there are no properties within 10 rotor diameters of any of the turbine locations and therefore there will be no potential effects at any properties surrounding the Wind Farm site. With regards waste and peat management, a Site Waste Management Plan and Peat Management Plan were prepared in relation to the permitted Wind Farm and these remain applicable to the revised scheme and offer

18 18 Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure UK Limited appropriate management systems to minimise the likelihood of significant adverse effects arising. No additional safety and security measures or procedures have been identified The revised assessment has concluded that there have been no material changes between the previous and current assessment. The assessment concludes that the effects of the revised Wind Farm will be not significant.
