The Press and Journal reports today
'...PLANS for a massive hydro scheme in the Highlands’ tourist heartland have won councillors’ backing – despite objectors claiming it would bring years of misery.

It would be the first new pump-storage hydro-electric scheme to be built in the UK for 28 years.

So how do you mitigate against the residents concerns; particularly, according to the article in the paper, the much increased flow of heavy traffic?
The councillors hoped that the company would employ Highlanders in the jobs that would be created; can the company be made to do that? How do you monitor the effect on the economy locally, Highland-wide and nationally?
I would be grateful for your views.
