Creation and use of a temporary vehicular access onto the public carriageway…

Proposed development

The development will consist of the creation and use of a temporary vehicular access onto the public carriageway at Kilmalogue Park for use for the construction of a permitted 10KV single storey substation and its associated operational access track both previously permitted under Planning Ref. No. 17/275 as revised by Planning Ref. 23/196 as part of a solar farm development. The proposed development will comprise the temporary removal of a section of an existing boundary wall (c. 5.4m) at Kilmalogue Park, the provision of a temporary construction track, ancillary development works, full reinstatement of the wall upon completion of the construction of the permitted substation and an increase in the area of permanent gravel track around the substation. The development will be used for the construction of the permitted substation in lieu of a previously permitted construction access track permitted under Planning Ref. No. 17/275 for the construction of the substation.
