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.

The development will consist of a cemetery including: 8,047 No. traditional burial plots; Columbarium walls; 1 single storey reception building (214.7m2 Gross Floor Area (GFA)) comprising a reception, 1 office, 1 reception store, WC, kitchenette with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels at roof level; and the provision of an ancillary maintenance shed, bin and battery storage structures; The development includes a new vehicular access road from Garters Lane to the N7 /M7 Naas Road, with 2 vehicular access points serving the proposed cemetery; 110 car parking spaces (25 spaces to the east of the reception building and 85 within overflow car park areas to the south of the development); 8 bicycle parking stands; and all associated hard and soft landscape and boundary treatment works including the reshaping of an existing lake and provision of a footbridge; provision of SUDS measures, associated lighting, associated signage, site services (foul and surface water drainage and water supply); and all other associated site excavation, infrastructural and site development works above and below ground.
