Decision to refuse planning for 377ac Solar farm appealed - storage battery
The company hopes to establish a 377-acre solar farm in Foulksmills, which appeals to the decision of the Wexford County Council to refuse to develop to Bord Pleanala.
Seek permission in the middle
In June, £ 152 was paid by Highfield Solar Ltd. 8 hectare (377 acre)
The solar farm is located in the north of Raheenduff, Haresmead, Rosspile, Coolcliffe and Horetown.
Ten-year planning permits include ground-mounted steel racks, solar photovoltaic panel permits for IPP electrical control buildings and inverters/substations, battery storage units, storage containers and spare buildings, underground power, communication cables, pipelines;
Border security fence;
Upgraded internal access track and related site work.
The "community first action group" held a meeting in cloning roots, and concerns were raised about the possible impact of solar farms on the region, including the potential reduction in the value of houses near development by 50 to 70.
According to the new Ross standard, the planning permission for the solar farm was rejected in June, and the decision was appealed by high field solar Ltd on September 3.
In their decision
On August, Wexford County Council planners said: due to the character and location of this nature and scale, the development of 152 hectares of scattered land will not be conducive to the protection of landscape and cultural heritage resources, the facilitation of the residential population and agricultural land use model is contrary to the appropriate planning and sustainable development of the region. The project says the project will take up highly productive agricultural land and will destroy the agricultural sector in the area
It added that this would represent uncoordinated and dominant features in the rural landscape.
The council also said that there is a lack of guidance on appropriate locations at the national, regional and local levels, the scale and distribution of solar farm array proposals of this size and size, and the proposed development will set a bad precedent for other similar-scale developments, as well as on the ecology of biodiversity and proposed development areas.
