A fresh High Court by families in the Ballingeary area of Co. Cork mount challenge to wind farm that has been brought against the planning authority’s decision to grant planning permission for a wind farm development in Co Cork.
In proceedings in the challenge to the wind farm is against An Bord Pleanála. A group of local families wants the court to quash the board’s decision of June 15 granting Framore Ltd planning permission for a development at the townlands of Derragh, Rathgaskig and Lack Beg in Ballingeary, Co Cork.
The development consists of six turbines, control building, access roads, underground cables, and ancillary works. The group also seeks declarations from the court including that the board failed to carry out either an environmental impact assessment (EIA) or an appropriate assessment of habitats, flora, and fauna before it granted permission.
Cork County Council and Framore Ltd are notice parties to the action.
