Cork couple refused leave to appeal wind farm decision

A couple has been refused permission by the High Court to appeal a decision to dismiss their challenge to An Bord Pleanála’s permission for construction of a wind farm near their home in Co Cork.

Klaus Balz and his wife Hanna Heubach run a family horticulture business from their home at Bear na Gaoithe, 637 metres from the proposed wind farm at Cleanrath, Inchigeelagh.
