Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The proposed development, consisting of a 220kV gas-insulated substation and associated grid connection, is determined to be Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) as it falls within the scope of Section 182A of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), comprising 'transmission' of electricity at a high voltage (110kV or more).

  • The applicant should be formally advised that a planning application for the development must be made directly to the Commission rather than the local authority.
