Report by Executive Director with responsibilities for Legal and Regulatory Support

Consideration was given to a report inviting the Area Committee to consider the composition of the Cruach Mhor Windfarm Trust, taking into account changes through the passage of time since the Area Committee first considered the establishment of a Trust in 2003.

Decision

The Bute and Cowal Area Committee agreed to revise the list of Trustees appointed to the Cruach Mhor windfarm by:

1.   agreeing that if Scottish Power Renewables decline appointment as Trustees that the Trust Deed reflect this position;

2.   resolving to increase in terms of the number of community representative positions on the trust from one to three, and that arrangements for the election of community representatives be delegated to the Returning Officer to progress; and

3. noting that the boundaries of the windfarm trust and the Colintraive & Glendaruel Community Council area are co-terminous.
