Supreme Court overturns permission for Cork windfarm

An Bord Pleanala's approval for a planned Co Cork windfarm development has been overturned by the Supreme Court after finding the board erred in failing to consider submissions from a local couple concerning developing knowledge about noise impact from turbines.

The five-judge court will decide later what form of order should be made arising from its judgment, including whether to return the matter to the Board for reconsideration.
