MARCH 2024

After many years of frustration, we are delighted to be

able to say that funding is now in place for a building

to be erected on site this Summer.

OCTOBER 2024

Frustratingly, difficulties in progressing the planning application

and problems with the proposed ground screw system of

foundation have resulted in a significant delay. We are now

awaiting a resolution to the problems with the planning

application, an archaeological survey (a condition for planning

permission) and foundation design. Installation is now scheduled

for Spring 2025.

APRIL 2025

As I reported at the AGM, we were not able to

proceed with the installation of the building as planned

last year. Things are, however, moving forward once

again now that Spring is here and the sun is shining.

The design of foundations for the building is nearly complete and

we expect to have the foundations in place by the end of May with

installation in June / July.

Our funders are:

Dounreay, a division of Magnox Ltd £43k

RWE Camster Windfarm Community Trust and Foundation Scotland £27k

Watten Windfarm Trust and Foundation Scotland £5k

Baillie Windfarm Community Fund £25k

INSTALLATION PROGRESS

March 2024 Order placed.

Further work in 2024 was delayed due to issues with planning and the ground screw system of building supports.

April 2025 Contract for the foundation design let. Installation expected in June / July.
