How many have specifically referenced how they would recycle the blades of the turbines as part of this decommissioning plan?

Response 09-06-2020

Details of all planning applications made to the Council are available through our online database. This information is therefore exempt under Section 25(1) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

However, in order to be helpful we can advise that a total of fifteen decommissioning applications met the necessary criteria as recorded in the online database. Of these, seven database entries record the following descriptions of the application's contents:

Outline plan - 1
Decommissioning Programme - 3
Decommissioning Bond Report - 1
Decommissioning Report - 2

The remaining eight entries are a mix of letters, statements and other correspondence. We recommend searching the online database for full details of each application.
