4.4 Baseline PURPOSE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THESE FIGURES: BALLYGILBERT WIND FARM These map-based Figures provide information on the baseline conditions within the 30 km Study Area that has been used for this Landscape and Visual Impact FIGURES 4.1 - 4.4 Assessment. They must be viewed in conjunction with the analysis of landscape and visual effects contained in Chapter 4 of the Environmental Statement and the detailed methodology for the preparation of visualisations contained in Technical Appendix 4.2. BASELINE ASSESSMENT FIGURES For ease of reference, the Reverse Zone of Theoretical Visibility (ZTV) is shown on Figure 4.3. The green shaded areas indicate parts of the Study Area which would experience no visibility of the Development. The same is illustrated in Figure 4.9: Reverse ZTV (blade tip) and the means of understanding each of the ZTV diagrams is further explained on Figures 4.5 – 4.13. Figure 4.1 illustrates the location of statutory landscape designations defined by planning policy and Development Plans. These provide evidence of the value placed on various parts of the Study Area for landscape and/ or visual characteristics and which may be subject to particular development control or planning policies. Non-statutory classifications, such as tourist routes and visitor attractions within the Study Area are also mapped on this figure. These give an indica- tion of the wider value of the Study Area to society although these classifications may not equate to any statutory protection. Landscape and Seascape Character Areas (LCAs and SCAs) are presented separately on Figure 4.2. These are defined by published documents: the Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment for Northern Ireland (NILCA) defines areas of distinct, recognisable or common character; the Northern Ireland Re- gional Seascape Character Assessment (NIRSCA) defines similar areas along the coastline; The Northern Ireland Regional Landscape Character Assessment (NIRLCA) defines broader areas of similar character and has been more recently updated than the NILCA. LCAs are further analysed by site survey and, where they are not deemed to be of relevance to this Development, this is indicated on the figure. Figure 4.3 illustrates the location of Provisional Viewpoints that were used to gain an initial understanding of the visual characteristics of the Development within the Study Area. It also illustrates the location of final Viewpoints that were chosen to provide a representative sample of viewers (receptors) and types of views of the Development across the Study Area and, most importantly, to demonstrate potential views of the Development rather than to show the screening effect of landscape features. A full and detailed description of the viewpoint selection process is provided in Technical Appendix 4.4 and should be referred to in con- junction with this Figure. Figure 4.4 illustrates the locations of other wind farms and single turbines that are considered to form the ‘Cumulative Baseline’ for this LVIA which comprises existing, consented and proposed (in-planning) wind farms which are likely to be visible from the selected Viewpoints (see Figures 4.14 – 4.42). A full descrip- tion of the Cumulative Baseline is provided in Technical Appendix 4.5.

This Design and Access Statement (DAS) has been prepared in order to accompany a full planning application under The Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011 for the Repowering of the Operational Corkey Windfarm (the 'Development'). 2. A DAS is a report which accompanies and supports a planning application and enables the applicant to describe how a proposed development has been designed in order to suit the chosen site and surroundings while also demonstrating that the development can be accessed adequately by users. A DAS is required to accompany all applications classed as major developments in Northern Ireland. 3. This DAS has been prepared in accordance with the Planning (General Development Procedure) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, Section 6, Design and Access Statements. In addition, the structure has been informed by Development Management Practice Note 12: Design and Access Statements, published by the Department of Environment (DOE) for Northern Ireland in April 2015.

  • Matthew Corkey B.L. Hosted By: Sandy Dibble; Springfield, MA
    Matthew Corkey B.L. Hosted by: Sandy Dibble; Springfield, MA Matthew Corkey was born in Belfast in 1984 and grew up just north of the city near Carrickfergus. He went to school at Belfast Royal Academy. In 2003, he moved to Dundee in Scotland where he studied English Law graduating in July 2007. Matthew returned to Northern Ireland on completion of his studies in Dundee and proceeded immediately to the Institute of Professional Legal Studies at Queen’s University Belfast where he undertook a postgraduate certificate in professional legal studies. On completion of the course at Queen’s in the summer of 2008 he was called to the Bar of Northern Ireland and commenced his pupilage. Matthew’s pupilage finished in March 2009 and he has been working as a self-employed barrister ever since. In the first couple of years of practice, Matthew did largely publicly funded criminal defense work in the lower courts. As time has gone by his practice has become increasingly dominated by civil litigation. Currently his practice involves a large amount of judicial review work for both individual applicants and respondent public authorities. He also does a reasonable amount of representation of employers in employment litigation and regularly receives instructions from insurance companies in personal injury work (commonly referred to as ‘whipper’ and ‘slipper’ claims). In Matthew’s spare time he is a keen rugby player having played since he was 11 years old, the sport provides a great antidote to the rigors of legal practice. He enjoys travelling and tries to put on a backpack and disappear for a few weeks every summer.

    Local Development Plan 2030 Appendix B Development Pressure Analysis September 2019 www.midandeastantrim.gov.uk/planning Contents 1.0 Introduction 3 2.0 Analysis of Development Pressure from Applications for 7 Residential Development in the Countryside of Mid & East Antrim -- Summary 19 3.0 Analysis of Pressure from Wind Energy Development in the 22 Countryside of Mid & East Antrim -- Summary 34 4.0 Analysis of Pressure from Solar Energy Development in the 37 Countryside of Mid & East Antrim -- Summary 41 1 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Development Pressure Analysis is one of the 4 strands of the Countryside Assessment and seeks to identify those areas where significant development pressure has occurred and where landscape, environmental integrity and local rural character may be under threat of significant change. Development pressure analysis typically involves an assessment of the spatial distribution of dwellings in the countryside and the cumulative impacts of such development. Given the high number of applications for wind energy development within the Borough in the recent past and their potential visual impacts, it is considered appropriate to widen this remit to also include an assessment of wind energy development. It is also considered prudent to gain an appreciation of any development pressure from solar energy development which can have a significant visual impact in the countryside. 1.2 It is acknowledged that other types of development, such as mineral excavation and agricultural or industrial buildings, can also result in adverse visual impacts on the visual amenity and character of the countryside. However, in regard to such forms of development, it is widely considered that sufficient control is already provided by prevailing regional policy, and Areas of Constraint on Minerals Development (ACMD) have been designated in the extant Larne Area Plan 2010 to manage minerals development in highly sensitive areas of the Antrim Coast and Glens Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
