A planning application to replace a wind turbine near Dungannon, Northern Ireland, has been refused. The proposed turbine would have been nearly twice the height of the existing one, raising concerns about its visual impact on the landscape and potential shadow flicker effects on nearby homes.
A planning application for the replacement of a wind turbine on lands north of No 62 Tullydraw Road, Dungannon, has been refused as the said wind turbine would have been nearly twice the height of the existing one.
The planning application was lodged by Theresa Cassidy, The Business Centre, Magherafelt, on behalf of OES Engineering, 60 Tullydraw Road, Dungannon. “The proposed turbine will be double the height of the existing turbine and on a lowland area, with critical views in several directions. Mid Ulster District Council requires that NIEA - Natural Environment Division - be consulted on all turbine applications, due to potential impact on bats and other protected species.
“Subsequently ecological information was submitted and NED were re-consulted. NED responded previous concerns with the proposal still remain, and an amended location for the new turbine needs to be submitted. In addition, a new bat activity survey, details of the parameters of the existing turbine and a bat mitigation and monitoring plan appropriate to the amended location.
