Minutes:

The Development Manager spoke to the terms of the report.  The site with currently appears to be rough grazing land measures less than 1 hectare and is located to the west of the electricity sub station at Ardnadam and to the south of Ardnadam Farmhouse.  It is advised that the generating capacity would be no more than 50MW and access would likely be taken from the north east of the site although at this stage this is indicative only.

 

The report sets out the information submissions to date as part of the Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) and summarises the policy considerations, against which any future planning application is likely to be judged against any potential material considerations.

 

It was recommended that Members have regard to the content of the report and submissions and provide such feedback as they consider appropriate in respect of the PAN to allow any matters to be considered by the Applicant in finalising any future planning application.

 

Decision

 

The Committee noted the content of the report and submissions with no further feedback being provided.
