Davagh Road bisects the site, running north- south through it. It extends to just under 2,600 hectares. Within its boundaries, the most notable peaks range in height from 320m to the 562m summit of Carnanelly. The site predominately comprises wet modified bog, commercial conifer plantation and blanket bog. The Glenlark River and Coneyglen Burn run through it. There are a number of small surface water bodies such as Glenarud and Feighatan Burns that run through the central and north-western parts of the site. Lough Lark is located towards its northern end. 1.2 The proposal encompasses the wind farm and all associated infrastructure in addition to parts of the haulage route for the turbines (abnormal load route) with associated road widening and creation of passing places. All traffic associated with the proposed development would use a new point of access located approximately 190 m north-east of No. 259 Sixtowns Road. The proposed access arrangements have not changed since submission of this planning application. 1.3 The applicant amended the original scheme in 2017. They reduced the number of turbines from 36 to 33 but increased the capacity for each from 3.2 megawatts (MW) to 3.6 MW thereby increasing the total capacity from 115.2 MW to 118.8 MW. Hub heights, overall height, blade diameter and tower diameters were also increased. 1.4 The plans subject of this planning application are listed in Appendix 1 of this report. Plans and maps included with the Environmental Statement (ES) and its Addendum are part of the supporting environmental information (EI) required by Regulation 11 (2) of The Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. These are distinct from the plans required by Article 3 (3) of The Planning (General Development Procedure) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 to accompany the planning application. 1.5 In addition to the suite of drawings listed in Appendix 1, Chapter 2 of the ES and Chapter 4 of its Addendum provide a comprehensive description of the constituent elements of the proposed development and the likely sequence of construction work activities. 1.6 The applicant’s revised P1W application form, amongst other things, gives the proposed turbines’: overall height; hub height; and rotor diameter. The applicant has not specified the turbine model to be used. If planning permission were forthcoming, regardless of model selection, the aforementioned dimensions are the maxima that would be permitted on the basis of that consent. These could be the subject of an associated planning condition as was done in appeal reference 2009/A0363. ____________________________________________________________________________ 2018/C007 Page 4 Planning Appeals Commission Section 26 ______________________________________________________________________________ Micro-siting 1.7 For each proposed turbine, the revised P1W application form provided the turbine centre co-ordinates and the base height level above sea level (AOD). However, the application for planning permission was made on the basis that the applicant seeks the scope to vary: each turbine location (and the corresponding layout) for up to 50m; and the centre line of access tracks and other infrastructure by up to 25m. They said that, amongst other things, this would allow accommodation of possible variations in ground conditions across the site, which would only become apparent once extensive ground investigation works (e.g. trial holes and boreholes) are carried out at pre-construction stage. They added that this would enable the developer to make the best use of the local topographical and stratigraphically variations in order to mitigate the extent of earthworks associated with the development. 1.8 If I were to recommend that planning permission be granted for this proposal, all of the following matters would be considered in subsequent chapters of this report: the acceptability of the principle of micro-siting; the adequacy of the associated EI; the likely environmental impact of micro-siting; and whether the proposed tolerances should be reduced. Third parties 1.9 Third parties (TPs) to the inquiry process included: local residents objecting to the proposal; objectors from further afield; elected representatives; District Councils; various

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

It was at such a meeting in a Dungannon restaurant that the idea was born to hold a school reunion and prepare a little book about the school and memories of the pupils who went to this seat of learning over the forty years its doors were open. The project began when the first two past pupils got two more to join them and so the Research Team began their work which ha s taken over a year to bring to completion. Now they are looking forward to the 10th.September 2004 when all the Past Pupils from home and abroad will gather in Quinn's Corner where many old acquaintances will meet and have an enjoyable night. Acknowledgements Thanks to all those who loaned us photographs or contributed articles. To all those who gave us help and advice in anyway we are very grateful.

  • 3 Description of Alternative Schemes
    Preliminary Options Report Scheme Assessment Report 1 - Constraints Report 3 Description of Alternative Schemes 3.1 The Study Area In order to identify a route for the A5WTC, extensive consultation and investigation is required in order to ensure that all pertinent environmental and engineering constraints are considered and for this reason it is necessary to identify a study area that covers a sufficiently large geographical area at the outset of the assessment process. In the case of the A5WTC the general centreline of the study area was largely dictated by the overriding requirement that the route should generally follow the existing established transport corridor, and in so doing link the main centres of population along the route (i.e. Aughnacloy, Omagh, Strabane and Londonderry). There was also a requirement for the A5WTC to link in with the A4 (which is currently being upgraded to dual carriageway standard) close to the village of Ballygawley and in so doing open up an improved East–West Link to Belfast. The engineering study area was determined by reference to mapping, carrying out site visits and taking into account areas of settlement, very high and steep ground, major watercourses and the border. This boundary was an initial assessment and was refined during the assessment period to reflect a greater knowledge of particular locations. The environmental constraints study area was determined to ensure that all major constraints that could impact on or be impacted on by the new road would be identified and recorded. This study area crosses the border to allow the identification and assessment of trans-boundary effects in accordance with environmental legislation.
