The proposed development for which permission under Section 37E is being sought will include the following:
• 12 No. Wind Turbines (blade tip height up to 158m). Eleven of the turbines will have a hub height of 90m and a blade length of 68m and one turbine (T10) will have a hub height of 82m and a blade length of 68m.
• 12 No. Wind Turbine foundations and hardstand areas.
• 1 No. Permanent Meteorological Mast (90m height) and foundation and associated hardstand areas.
• 1 No. Electrical Substation (110kV) including associated ancillary buildings, security fencing and all associated works.
• 2 No. Developed Site Entrances, one temporary entrance to facilitate construction traffic and one permanent entrance.
• New and upgraded internal site access tracks.
• Provision of an on-site Visitor cabin and parking.
• All associated underground electrical and communications cabling connecting the proposed turbines to the proposed onsite substation.
• Laying of approximately 1.5km of underground electricity cabling to facilitate the connection to the national grid from the proposed onsite substation to connect to an existing 110kV overhead line.
• Temporary works on sections of the public road network along the turbine delivery route (including hedge or tree cutting, relocation of
powerlines/poles, lampposts, signage, and local road widening).
• 1 No. Temporary construction site compound and additional mobile welfare unit.
• 1 No. Borrow pit to be used as a source of stone material during construction.
• 3 No. spoil deposition areas (one at borrow pit location).
• Associated surface water management systems.
• Tree felling for wind farm infrastructure.
