The development will consist of: 1. The erection of a temporary 120m high lattice type meteorological mast for a period of 5 years which will be fixed to ground anchors by guy wires and will include instruments for measuring local climate conditions, services and associated equipment. 2. An Infra-Red LED autonomous powered (solar) aviation light will be fitted near the top of the lattice section of the proposed meteorological mast. 3. Bird Flight deterrent discs will be fitted to each guy wire at approximately 10m intervals. 4. Tree felling will be required for a distance of 100m in length, and 6m in width, for each of the 3 no. guy wire lanes. 5. The proposed works also include temporary staff welfare facilities and all ancillary works. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) has been prepared in respect of the proposed development and accompanies the planning application.
