Status
Consented
The Over Hill wind farm proposal is located 6.6 km north-east of Dalmellington and 7.9km south of Ochiltree, East Ayrshire. The approved development will consist of 10 turbines up to 180m tip height, with an installed capacity of 49.9MW. The site would have an operational lifetime of 35 years, after which the turbines would be removed and the site restored.
Planning permission was originally granted in 2020 for 10x 150m turbines at Overhill ( ref: 20/0425/PP). A further application was granted in 2023 to increase the tip heights of the turbines from 150m to 180m.
More recently, section 42 applications have been submitted to vary certain aspects of the wind farm. The most noteworthy of these seeks to increase the tip heights of the turbines from 180m to 200m, along with varying other elements of the development such as the crane pads, substation and operational life. This application is currently awaiting determination.
