Monaincha townland, Roscrea, County Tipperary

RED III - Soleire Renewables SPV Alpha 2 Ltd intend to apply for planning permission to amend the design of the previously approved development (Planning Reference: Tipperary County Council 2360677) which comprises consent for a 10-year period to construct and a 40-year period to operate a 34.11-hectare Solar PV Energy Development at Monaincha Townland, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary. The proposed amendments include: (1) removal of solar panels south of the solar farm, (2) reduction in the overall number of transformer stations, with an increase in their respective areas and foundations, (3) minor increase in array height from 2m to a maximum height of 2.52m, (4) reduction in the area of concrete shoes, (5) minor increase in the height of the deer-type fencing, (6) minor increase to a minimum row spacing of 3.6m, (7) provision of a minimum distance of 4m between the modules and the perimeter fencing, (8) reduction and reconfiguration of the internal access tracks, including relocation of the access road on the eastern side of the field to comply with the watercourse buffer area, (9) strengthening of the existing watercourse crossing, including the provision of a culvert for the interconnector cable, to facilitate operational and maintenance (O&M) access and connectivity between the northern and southern, (10) relocation of the transformer station within the northern plot and (11) relocation of the temporary construction compound. A Natura Impact Statement will also be submitted to the Planning Authority for this proposed development.

the installation of a 34.11hectare/84.28 acre solar farm at lands known as Brehony's Bog, within the townland of Monaincha, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary (E: 616980, N: 687790 (ITM)). The solar farm will consist of a series solar photovoltaic (PV) panels mounted on steel support structures and will measure 2.00m in overall height. Ancillary development to the installation of solar PV panels includes 12no. transformers; 106no. pole-mounted CCTV cameras measuring 2.75m high; underground cabling; 3.80km (approx.) of fenceline measuring 2.00m at highest point; creation of new graded internal access tracks approximately 4.00m wide from two existing gated entrances on northern site boundary, each measuring 6.50m wide. A temporary compound measuring 5,000sqm will be established during the construction phase of the solar farm, whereupon the area will then be used for the siting of solar PV panels following the construction phase. The proposed solar farm will operate over a 40-year period, after which it will be decommissioned, with all associated lands returned to their original use. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) has been prepared and submitted in support of this planning application
