As part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for Coriolis Energy, LUC carried out an Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) for a proposed 26-turbine wind farm in Aberdeenshire.

Our report presented and interpreted the findings of desk-based and field studies, following best practice methods in assessing the potential significance of effects on ecological features. We assessed potential effects during both the construction and operation of the Proposed Development, and considered potential cumulative effects with other developments at application, consented or operational stage.

The site offered LUC's ecologists an opportunity to study an extensive and locally-important water vole population. We worked with other consultants and the client to ensure any potential impacts to this species was minimised. The project is at post-submission stage and we continue to provide support and advice to Coriolis.
