1.8km 01/10/2025 N/A Tullyhaw , Snugborough , County Cavan for a minor amendment to planning ref: 23/60009 relating to the permitted substation compound at Tullyhaw, Ballyconnell, County Cavan We are seeking a minor amendment to: • (A) the site substation, and • (B) the temporary site compound. Please see appendix for site location maps and drawings Substation relocation is required because: • The original location conflicts with turbine delivery vehicle swept paths and access gradients as identified during detailed design. • Significant additional fill would be required to match road levels and overcome existing site contours and drainage constraints. • The new position avoids a deep field drain, provides a better route for the interconnector cable, and improves both security and health & safety for long-term maintenance access. Temporary compound relocation is required because: • The approved location has the same gradient and access issues as the original substation site. • The new location provides safer, more secure access with reduced cut/fill. • While temporary, the compound must safely accommodate offices, welfare facilities, storage, and staff parking until reinstatement after construction The proposed change does not alter the overall scale, use or purpose of the proposed development and will not give rise to any additional environmental or visual impacts.
