Abstract

The present report is a review of the evidence presented by the developers of the Lewis Wind Farm proposal as part of the planning application process. As such, the present report is not intended as an ‘alternative’ EIS, neither does it seek to advocate the conservation of the Lewis peatlands. Its function is to examine the evidence presented by LWP concerning the peatland habitat and consider the extent to which the evidence offered by LWP provides an adequate basis for making a well-informed planning decision
In places, the LWP documents adopt approaches that result in certain types of
information being assembled, whereas had other approaches been adopted a rather different and arguably more informative set of information might have been brought together and presented in the LWP EIS documents. The present report thus considers these alternative approaches and presents information based on these to highlight the information-gaps resulting from the particular course pursued by LWP.
It references Lindsay's earlier observations on the 2004 EIS, available for reference at http://hdl.handle.net/10552/1153.
