Co Offaly Wind Farm Granted Permission
An Bord Pleanála have granted permission for a nine-turbine wind farm in Co Offaly, which they had previously rejected.
The planning authority had previously refused permission for Galetech Energy Developments Cloghan Ltd proposal of ten 170-metre high turbines, saying that the development was "excessively dominant" and "visually obtrusive."
A new proposal has been granted permission, subject to conditions; in allows for nine turbines of a maximum height of 150 metres and also require a Nature Impact Statement and an Environmental Impact Statement.
The turbines will stand for ten years at Stonestown, Kilcamin, Crancreagh and Derrinlough in Cloghan, where last year's planned turbines were refused.
