Proposed Development
Development Description:
four wind turbines of up to 100m hub height and up to 112m rotor diameter with a total height not exceeding 156m; a transformer and crane hardstand area at each turbine; underground electrical and communication cables linking the turbines; internal site tracks; drainage works; a section of the proposed 38kV overhead power line from the proposed 38kV substation in Bruckana to the 110kV Lisheen substation; and associated works. This development is part of a larger development which extends to parts of County Laois (townland of Baunaghra) and County Kilkenny (townlands of Bruckana, Rathpatrick and Baunmore). The development as a whole will consist of a wind farm comprising: sixteen wind turbines of up to 100m hub height and up to 112m rotor diameter with a total height not exceeding 156m; a transformer and crane hardstanding area at each turbine; underground electrical and communication cables linking the turbines; internal site tracks; a permanent meteorological lattice mast 100m high; drainage works; a 38 kV substation and associated equipment and control building with associated septic tank and treatment system; a 38 kV overhead line to the 110 kV Lisheen substation; and associated works. An Environmental Impact Assessment accompanies the application. The development is proposed on a site that is the subject of an integrated Pollution Control Licence (Reg.
