Wind farm Windfall for Dunblane? Consultation Meeting 14th Nov

The Windburn 2 windfarm proposal is for land behind Dumyat.  Parts of the turbines will potentially be seen from walks around Sherrifmuir and even from certain locations in Dunblane.  On the other hand, onshore Wind is the most sustainable form of electricity generation there is and in addition, Dunblane would benefit from windfall funding.  It is up to the community of Dunblane to decide.  But how much would this windfall funding be?  Please see the article below from the BBC :
