In October 2003 Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) appointed ASH design + assessment to carry out the landscape and visual impact assessment for a proposed extension to add seven additional wind turbines to the existing wind farm.
Tangy Wind Farm Extension
ASH carried out consultations, survey and assessment work during the winter and spring months. Work included:
- An intake weir on the River Glass
- Scheme design
- Environmental Impact Assessment
- Mitigation measures
ASH worked closely with SSE to ensure that the scheme was developed to minimise adverse environmental effects whilst maintaining engineering viability of the wind farm.
The environmental statement for the wind farm extension was published in June 2004. Approval for the wind farm extension was granted and construction commenced in 2006.
