Faray.
Orkney Islands Council is holding a consultation event, next Thursday, on proposals to install a new extended slipway and landing jetty at the south end of Faray, in the North Isles.
This follows on from a pre-application consultation for a proposed six-turbine council-owned wind farm in Faray. The project is part of the wider Orkney’s Community Wind Farm Project, which also includes proposed developments at Quanterness in St Ola and at Wee Fea in Hoy.
According to OIC, the existing slipway to the island in a dilapidated condition, and improved access to the island would be required for any future development, as well as for general ongoing access. A landing jetty would also be required for the delivery of large components.
