Award-winning butcher Simon Howie has been granted planning permission - subject to conditions - by Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) to erect a 104m high turbine at his Perthshire farm.
His factory - which has 141 employees and supplies several well-known supermarkets - is now a stop closer to achieving Net Zero and running off grid.
The application for the turbine - which will be 500 metres from the historic village of Dunning and on the edge of a conservation area - received 79 objections including one from Dunning Community Council who described it as a "totally unsuitable structure in a totally unsuitable location".
Simon Howie Butchers was founded in December 1986 when Simon (now 57) opened his first small shop in Dunning. In 1997 a 10,000 square feet factory was opened and is now eight times the size. The business supplies Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, the Co-op, Asda and Gleneagles Hotel.
PKC's Planning and Placemaking Committee met on Wednesday March 13 to consider the application for the 2.3MW 104m high turbine - with a hub height of around 69m - at Findony Farm, Dunning where Simon's family has been farming for over 100 years. The plans were recommended for approval by council officers.
Dunning Community councillor Colin Young told the councillors it was "unacceptable" for the tall turbine to be so close to the village. He said the visual amenity and character of the area "would be seriously compromised".
He added: "It's a totally unsuitable structure in a totally unsuitable location."
Objector Dr Gardner raised concern about shadow flicker and noise.
He said: "A fair number of properties in Dunning have single glazing because they are listed and it's a conservation area."

conspiracy theories surrounding her recovery from abdominal surgery.The Duchess of Cambridge, 42, has mainly been staying out of the public eye following the January operation, even though wild rumors about her whereabouts have recently swirled around the internet.On March 18, Middleton and her husband, Prince William, were spotted hanging out at a farm shop in Windsor — a move that Kensington Palace believed would put an end to the theories. According to the Daily Beast, the Princess of Wales was desperate to be seen at the farmer’s market — especially after her disastrous Mother’s Day photo fiasco.A source told the outlet that her appearance at the shop was “the right move, because ultimately she is fine and she needed that to be seen.”The Sun obtained footage of the couple out over the weekend, with some fans believing the video was doctored and that the woman in the clip was not Middleton.“There’s nothing you can do these days about a bunch of headbangers who have a vested interest in keeping the conspiracies going,” the source said.
casual outing over the weekend could have been “purposefully arranged” by palace officials, according to a royal expert.The Princess of Wales, 42, was seen looking “happy, healthy, and relaxed” as she joined William for a quick visit to a farm shop in Windsor.Palace sources have since told The Post that the Princess’s sighting should be enough to quell ongoing conspiracy rumors about the royal, but the ordeal seems to have sparked more confusion over her well-being.“I’ve seen the video of Kate and William — part of me is wondering if this has been purposefully arranged,” King Charles’s former butler Grant Harrold exclusively told The Post.
For years, questions have plagued Marvel Studios about their relationship with their TV offshoots. Were those series canon? And if so, why did the movies generally ignore their existence, while the shows were always so thirsty to connect to the movies? The answer to these questions of canon—are they all connected or not canonically— seemed to arrive a few months ago when Disney+ added all of its Netflix series to the official Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline around the release of “Echo,” a series with close ties to Netflix’s “Daredevil.” Fans immediately assumed this meant all the Netflix shows and heroes were now part of the MCU proper, and it turns out they were right.
