Developers behind controversial proposals for a windfarm in the Vale of Leven were grilled by residents last week.
Glasgow based Coriolis Energy last year launched proposals for land around Auchenreoch Moor.
If approved the plans could see 10 wind turbines erected on the site, with these standing at up to 250 metres in height - almost double the height of the Glasgow Tower, Scotland’s tallest building, which stands at 127m.
During a public meeting last week a range of opinions were shared, with one resident saying he would ‘fight the development with every fibre of his being’ and others welcoming the potential investment in the area.
The meeting was organised by Bonhill and Dalmonach Community Council, with chair Jack Fordy admitting major questions still remain unanswered.
He told the Lennox: “They will be colossally tall.
“The developers put up a map showing the areas where it would be visible. And it’s pretty much everywhere.
“You could probably see them from Arran if you were up on the hills there.
“The question that we didn’t really drill down to is where the nearest turbines of a similar height and where there’s a similar density of development are.
“That would allow us to organise a bus and go on a visit to see what they look like and what they sound like when they are in action.
“The ones at Whitelees in Glasgow are less than half the height.
”There are applications for developments of a similar height, but none of them are in operation yet.
“I think it’s possibly an okay development, but not really in the right place.
“I don’t think there are any other developments in Scotland that are this close to a centre of the population.
“These machines will be the largest onshore turbines in Scotland, but will be positioned within 2km
