The developers of a wind farm in west Waterford have successfully appealed a High Court order restraining its operations while they seek to regularise the planning status of wind turbines whose design had been altered from the original grant of planning permission.
In the latest chapter in a long-running legal battle between the wind farm operator and local residents, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Barranafaddock Sustainable Electricity (BSE), against a High Court ruling restricting the operation of the wind farm near Ballyduff, Co Waterford, until a determination was made on its planning status.
