SD23A/0100: Permission for development on a site of 6.7ha. The proposed development will consist of the construction of a Photovoltaic Solar development to the North of the Citywest hotel on lands formally in use as a golf course [comprising a change of use from former golf course to solar development]. The proposed development will include the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on ground mounted frames/support structures, underground cabling and ducting, security fencing, CCTV cameras, temporary construction compound and an area of hardstanding for an electrical compound. The electrical compound will consist of two modified shipping containers, containing 3 inverters and LV Switch gear. This compound will also accommodate the Battery Energy Storage system, PV inverter and a transformer. The proposed development includes the above as well as drainage, landscaping, bio-diversity enhancement measures and all other associated site excavation, infrastructural and site development works above and below ground. While the proposed development relates to a total site area of 6.7ha, c.3.5ha of this constitutes the actual land take post development. The operational lifespan of the solar PV development will be 30 years. A Natura Impact statement (NIS) accompanies the planning application.
