Fears as windfarm plans may be appealed

PLANS to build a €300 million windfarm in Co Mayo are in doubt as fears grow that planning permission for the development will be appealed to Bord Pleanala.

If the windfarm is build on 12,000 acres of land near Bellacorrick, Co Mayo, it will be the biggest wind power unit in Europe.

There were more than 30 objections to Mayo County Council against the ambitious Bord na Mona and ESB development, which was granted planning permission last week.
