A controversial solar farm planned to be built on Cumbrae has been recommended for approval by council planners.
The planning application is due to be decided upon by the council's planning committee on Wednesday next week.
In their pre-decision document, planning officials at the council have recommended to the committee that the application is approved with conditions.
The planned site at Wee Minnemoer has been met with anger from the majority of islanders, who say the proposed placement is wrong, with concerns also raised about the environmental impact of such a development.
Planning officials say that the application by Comsol Energy has addressed these issues, and has recommended it be given the green light.
Conditions recommended to be imposed on the application include the need for further details on road upgrades, as well as the need for an archaological survey before work begins.
A spokesperson for Cumbrae Community Council said: "We are disappointed that the planners have not taken on board our objections and are recommending approval of the solar farm."
