What is the visual impact of a windfarm?

The visual impact of the windfarm to local residents has been assessed in the early stages of our investigations. Visual impact is somewhat difficult to measure as it is often a personal subjective opinion. However, within the process of our technical studies and development and submission of our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), we will carry out work to mitigate this in the design of our windfarm.

Manx Utilities has been working with virtual reality design consultants to produce an immersive virtual reality experience, this will be available at our stakeholder events and will include an online dashboard allowing you to see what the turbines could look like from various locations in the south of the Island.
