The Visual Issue - An Investigation into the Techniques and Methodology used in Windfarm Computer Visualisations
March, 2007
by Alan Macdonald
This document does not question whether we should be developing windfarms or should not be
developing windfarms, or even whether they look good on a landscape or are a visual intrusion on
the landscape. We are simply addressing the methodology used by the windfarm industry, who
in our opinion, have been using misleading methods for the last 11 years whilst seeking to obtain
planning permission.
Having had more than 15 years experience in producing visualisations for planning applications, both here and in other parts of the world, what we see happening throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK is a method of visual presentation which brings our profession into disrepute. After many years of fighting for fairer standards, something has to be done because of the growing public perception that photomontage is unreliable.
