Planning sought for windfarm on site of unopened €48m dump

Planning permission is to be sought shortly for a windfarm at the site of a mothballed superdump, which cost €48m to develop.

Coom Green Energy Park (CGEP) has confirmed that it expects to put a planning application in to Cork County Council in October for 22 turbines at the former municipal landfill site at Bottlehill, 23kms north of Cork city.
