The proposed
development at Lackan is an interesting development of three
large wind turbines on the shoreline of Killala Bay. The
project was taken from inception by the practice to final
planning approval. The project consists of three turbines,
60 metre hub height and 80 metre rotor diameter.
During the planning stage of the project, an appeal to the
development was lodged to An Bord Pleanala by An Taisce.
This appeal was successfully defended and planning approval
was granted in July 2003.
The practice co-ordinated all aspects of the planning for
the project, from the initial site appraisal to meterological
monitoring and the co-ordination of the environmental impact
statement.
An important feature of the success of this project was
the selection of an appropriate turbines for the site and
the careful siting of the turbines on the site to achieve
certain visual characteristics.
