Question
To ask the Scottish Government what (a) consideration it (i) has given and (ii) plans to give and (b) research it has undertaken regarding the impact of onshore windfarm developments on tourism.
Answer
The Scottish Government has no current plans to undertake research into the impact of onshore windfarms on tourism. As answered previously (S6W-02641 on 6 September 2021) our entire economic strategy is focused on sustainable and inclusive growth. While there are no plans for research in this specific area, any actions we take in terms of supporting immediate sector recovery and beyond will be focused on meeting the objectives of both our climate change and economic strategies.
