‘Relief’ as wind farm refused planning permission again

Bord Pleanála has refused planning permission for a wind farm in east Cork for the second time in two years.

A community spokesman in the Ardglass area, near Midleton, said the Bord Pleanála decision was “one of relief”.

Prior to the appeal Cork County Council had modified the proposals by Ardglass Windfarm Ltd to construct seven 110KV turbines, 140m high at Hogan’s Wood, Ardglass.
