Belltown Power excited to submit the Melvich Wind Energy Hub planning application

We're very pleased to confirm submission of our planning application to the Scottish Government for the Melvich Wind Energy Hub.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to shaping our proposals by providing feedback and attending our public consultations. Members of the team will be at Strathy Village Hall on 20th April from 8am-8pm to answer any questions, and a physical copy of the planning application is available at the hall.

The full planning application and all the associated documents can be viewed above on this page and on Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit website (www.energyconsents.scot) using the project reference ECU00004514 where representations can also be submitted up to 19 May 2023.

Any subsequent additional information which is submitted by the Company will be subject to further public notice in this manner, and representations to such information will be accepted as per this notice.

As a result of a statutory objection from the relevant planning authority, or where the Scottish Ministers decide to exercise their discretion to do so, Scottish Ministers can also cause a Public Inquiry to be held.

Following examination of the environmental information, the Scottish Ministers will determine the application for consent in two ways:

  • grant consent to the proposed Development, with or without conditions attached; or
  • reject the application.
