A 10 year planning permission for 2 no.33kv underground electricity interconnector cables of c.2.59 km in length to be provided predominantly in excavated trenches and include associated underground ducting, joint bays, communication chambers and all associated site development and reinstatement works. The proposed development provides for a change of plan to part of the solar farm previously permitted under Cork County Council planning reference 18/6769 (as amended by 20/6891), 19/5729 and 19/6882 and will provide for the laying of underground interconnector cabling between inverters permitted under these applications. The works will be carried out within the solar farm boundary, on private lands and within the L-7634 public road. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) has been prepared and will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application.
