The Scottish Government are now consulting on a draft updated plan for the siting of offshore wind turbines. The impact assessments supporting the plan cover potential noise impacts of offshore wind development - including noise from transport, ports and noise impacts on marine life. The stated aims of the proposals are to "...use the latest data and scientific evidence to inform decisions on energy developments - such as how projects will impact wildlife and nature; ensure the environmental, social, economic opportunities and constraints from offshore projects are clearly set out to help inform decision making and ensure the interests and views of other marine users, including fishers, coastal and island communities and environmental groups are taken into account."
