Design considerations
What is proposed?
A masterplan designed to unlock existing pathways encouraging access to surrounding villages, with links into the offsite path network, biodiversity, habitat restoration, enabling local communities to explore and enjoy their local heritage.

An energy transition
Why this site?
The site has strong wind potential, good road
access, and a viable grid connection. It is not
within a protected area for landscape, wildlife,
habitats, or cultural heritage.
While wind farms have been proposed nearby
in the past, this specific site has not been
developed. The primary development area does
not overlap with previous proposals, and no
turbines are located on former sites.
Restored opencast land now offers new
opportunities for turbine placement, with
proposed turbines positioned slightly further
north and east—away from main settlements.
Previous proposals, such as High Cumnock and
Garleffan, were generally well supported by the
local community for the benefits they offered.
Timeline
OnPath Together to a greener future
Here’s an overview of the proposed project timeline.
April 2025: Consultation round one complete
We organised three face to face events in the would be hosting Community Council areas of New Cumnock, Netherthird, Lugar, Logan, and Cronberry. This is an important part of our OnPath Together development approach to find out what is important to local people.
Spring / Summer 2025: We brought your feedback into the design process complete
Refined the site design taking into account baseline surveys, discussions with stakeholders, consultees and community feedback.
January 2026: Consultation round two complete
We share our design proposals and community benefit package.
Early 2026 complete
Planning application submitted.
Spring / Summer 2026
Collaboration with local communities on the finer details.
January 2028
Planning application determined.
Spring 2030: Construction*
*If consented this is our target date to begin construction (grid connection dependent)
Summer 2031: Operational wind farm*
*If consented this is our target date for Glen Water Wind Farm to become operational.
