CUSH WIND FARM STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING APPLICATION

CushWind Farm Limited is applying for planning permission for the construction and operation of an 8-turbine wind farm and associated site development works in the townlands of Cush, Galros West, Boolinarig Big, Eglish, and Ballindown, County Offaly

Following consultations with An Bord Pleanála, it has been determined that the proposed development is a Strategic Infrastructure Development which necessitates a planning application being made directly to An Bord Pleanála. It is a requirement of An Bord Pleanála that a dedicated planning application website is created which includes all of the application documentation.
