The Project Team has published the revised layout for the proposed Lemanaghan Wind Farm. The revised proposal, for which the project team intends to seek planning permission in the coming months, comprises 15 turbines with an overall tip height of 220 metres. It is also intended to construct a substation to facilitate access to the National Grid for the proposed development.
The proposed Lemanaghan Wind Farm will include the construction of new access roads to install and maintain the wind turbines. The Draft Amenity Plan will seek to utilise these new access roads as a basis for most of the proposed trails for walking and cycling. Additional amenity links are also provided to create loops and increase accessibility within the site.
Please view the proposed Draft Amenity Plan Booklet for more detail on the proposed plans for the development.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the Clinics and submitted feedback through the various channels provided as part of the Phase 2 Consultation for the proposed development.
It is currently envisaged that the final layout for the proposed development will be published in Spring 2022.
