Bord na Móna has published the revised layout for the proposed Ballydermot Wind Farm.  The revised proposal, for which the company intend to seek planning permission in late 2022, comprises 47 turbines an overall blade tip height ranging from 200 to 220 metres above ground level.  It is also intended to construct a substation to facilitate access to the National Grid for the proposed development.

The proposed Ballydermot Wind Farm will include the construction of new access roads to install and maintain the wind turbines.  As Bord na Móna will seek to utilise these new access roads as a basis for most of the proposed trails for walking, cycling and horse riding, a Draft Amenity Plan has also been published.

For more detail on the proposed amenity plans for this  development, please view the Draft Amenity Plan Map and the Draft Amenity Plan Booklet.

We welcome your feedback on the development of the Draft Amenity Plan. To provide your feedback to the Project Team, please complete and submit either the online or downloadable versions of the Draft Amenity Plan Feedback Questionnaire by Friday 30th September 2022
