Campaigners says their community faces months of “stress and uncertainty” after plans for a windfarm above Loch Ness were resurrected.Council planners refused an application for the 13 turbine Cnoc an Eas development because of the “significantly detrimental visual impact”.But now applicant Force 9 Energy and EDF Energy have appealed the decision to the Scottish Government.The project is a joint venture between the two companies who want to build the 415ft turbines in Glenurquhart above Loch Meikle about half way between Drumnadrochit and Balnain.
