Council’s wind farm refusal scrutinised
That is the view of planning consultant, Brendan McGrath, who was commenting on the comprehensive refusal by the local authority against the application by McMahon Finn Wind Acquisitions Ltd for a six-turbine wind farm located 9km from the west Clare coastal village of Quilty.
Last month, the local authority refused planning permission to the plan for a contentious 400ft-high wind farm over — in part — the impact it will have on the protected and rare bird, the Hen Harrier.
