Key facts
Proposed development
RED III development which will consist of an amendment to a previously consented development (planning reference PL92.313424) comprising the reconfiguration and enlargement of the permitted substation layout from c. 24.0m x 19.0m compound with an enlarged compound (c. 54.1m x 25.9m), to include a Solar Farm (IP) section and an ESB section, containing control rooms, power quality equipment, transformers and a 12m x 12m hardstanding area. The development includes ancillary infrastructure such as 2.44m high palisade fencing, lighting, CCTV and internal access tracks, as well as a minor reconfiguration of the permitted solar array, involving the removal of 11 tables of solar panels to accommodate the revised substation footprint.
