Proposed development

RETENTION: RED III: Tesco Ireland Limited intends to apply to Dublin City Council for Retention Permission for development at Tesco Extra, Clearwater Shopping Centre, Finglas Road, Dublin 11, D11 XY4E. The development consists of the installation of 380 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, each with a capacity of 480 Wp, mounted on fixed-tilt support structures on the roof of the existing Tesco Extra building. The total installed capacity is approximately 182.4 kWp (DC) and 136 kW (AC), covering a total roof area of approximately 933.10 square metres. The development includes all associated works, including support frameworks, rooftop cabling, and connection to the existing on-site electrical infrastructure. The PV panels are contained entirely within the footprint of the existing building and do not exceed the height of the parapet. This development is covered by the provisions of the Renewable Energy Directive III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413) and it is important to note that the planning application may be subject to section 34D of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended. When a notice issues in accordance with section 34D(b), the provisions of article 26A of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 to 2025 shall apply.
