Permission for the construction of a single storey ESB switch room building, single vehicle park space, pedestrian paths and ramps. The proposed development is for a new build on an existing manufacturing establishment site to which the Major Accidents Directive applies. The proposed development site is subject to the provisions of an EPA-Industrial Emissions Directive (IE) Licence

Permission for alterations and revisions to the previously approved planning reference number 22/4839. The proposed changes include a reduction in the size of the T7 building and an expansion of the pump house footprint (total 5.6m2 increase in total floor area). Modifications to the permanent bridge are also proposed, involving adjustments to its external materials and dimensions. Site-wide landscaping updates are planned, along with the installation of high-level signage on the IC4 production building. Minor adjustments to the type, size and placement of doors and windows are proposed for the IC4 production building, central utility building, drum store and foam deluge building. The application also includes the relocation of the southeast gate and detailing of the cycle route. Finally, alterations to plant, machinery, and tanks to the IC4 production building, yard area and fire water tank areas are part of this proposal. The proposed development is located on an existing manufacturing site which the Major Accidents Directive applies. The site is also subject to both an Industrial Emissions License and an Integrated Pollution Control License, regulated by the environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A Natura Impact Statement and Appropriate Assessment Screening Report is submitted to the Planning Authority with this Application.

The Development will consist of a new waste water treatment area. Works will include the construction of a standalone single storey roofed tankage structure, a two-storey dewatering/sludge building, a concrete slab area, access road, 3 no. vehicle parking bays and associated ground level mounted equipment and storage area. This application is for an amendment to the WWT area previously approved under reference no. 22/4839. The proposed development is on an existing manufacturing site to which the Major Accidents Directive applies, and to which an Industrial Emissions Licence and an Integrated Pollution Control Licence that are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applies.
