An Bord Pleanala had been due to issue its determination on August 17th.

An Bord Pleanala will not issue a decision on a wind farm in south Kildare until October.

A decision had been due to issue on August 17th.

 

 

In March,  Kildare County Council refused permission to Ummeras Wind Farm Limited for 5 wind turbines, with a 30 year operational life-time.

The firm wanted to erect the turbines in the townlands of Ummeras Beg , Coolatogher Mullaghroe Lower , Ummeras More and Coolsickin/Quinsborough.

The company appealed that refusal to ABP, which was, by its own calendar, due to issue a decision yesterday..

Monasterevin Rathangan Wind Awareness Group is a 3rd party appellant on the case

Stakeholders made contact with An Bord Pleanala on Tuesday morning, and were informed a decision has been delayed.

Its been confirmed today that it will not issue until October.

Here's KCC's decision notification and development description:
