Purpose of this change

This proposal is for an Airspace Trial, for which a scaled airspace change process applies and a change level is not applicable.

As part of the planning process, SPR have proposed a condition for their Clauchrie Windfarm which relies on an Aviation Detection Lighting System (ADLS) to minimise the impact of aviation lighting on the visual landscape. Clauchrie is located on the edge of the Dark Skies Park in Southwest Scotland and Nature Scotland have raised concern about the visual impact of aviation lighting.

As this would be a first of type in the UK, SPR wish to undertake a trial of the technology at their existing Mark Hill windfarm in Southwest Scotland
