SNH, SEPA and Scottish Renewables are working in partnership to develop a new piece of guidance called Good Practice During Windfarm Construction. A steering group comprising of SNH, SEPA and several members of the windfarm industry have been working on the guidance since late 2008 and a Sharing Good Practice event was held at Battleby on the 7th of May, 2009, to test the ideas on wider audience, seek feedback on the proposed guidance and gather wider examples from the windfarm industry. The event was well attended with over 70 participants taking part. Copies of the presentations from both the plenary and workshop sessions can be downloaded below

Notes from the workshop sessions are available here  .
