Scenic or not?

It appears the board ignored its own inspector’s advice and somehow managed to fudge the line, designating some areas scenic and others not, on a large scale map in the Cork development plan to (incorrectly) “... conclude that the site did not lie within a designated Area of Scenic Amenity.”

While I strongly support renewably energy, I do not believe we should contaminate our most scenic areas with such structures.
