"The verbal and written feedback received indicated that the vast majority of people came away from the events better informed about our proposals which is important for us as a company committed to open and transparent engagement.
"One of the main issues raised at previous exhibitions was potential visual impact. To address this, we provided a greater level of information which included an interactive 3D model, detailed photomontages and a visuals booklet to help show what the proposed wind park could look like from different locations."
"We have placed all the information that was on display on our website and in public libraries and would encourage as many people as possible to view the latest plans and leave us comments. All feedback received will be reviewed and analysed and we will look to address any issues raised in our next phase of consultation in the autumn."

Subject to planning and gaining consent, construction could start in 2017 with the first wind turbines starting to generate energy by 2020. A fully operational wind park is anticipated in 2020/2021.
