We Eirgrid plc with the consent and approval of Electricity Supply Board (ESB) intend to apply for permission for development at this site at Pigeon House Road, Dublin 4 on lands between Shellybanks (Also referred to as Shelleybanks) public car park and the permitted 220kV Poolbeg substation DCC Reg Ref 4057/23. The development will consist of the provision of a c. 705m underground cable operating at 220kV along Pigeon House Road and all associated development including excavation and reinstatement of the road surface. An underground joint bay will also be provided to allow for future connection to the wider Carrickmines to Poolbeg cable replacement project. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the planning application. Other elements of the Carrickmines to Poolbeg replacement project, including an onshore section from Carrickmines 220kV Substation to Blackrock Park and offshore section from Blackrock Park to Shellybanks, will be subject to their own AA Screenings and, where required, an NIS, to support separate future applications for development consent to the relevant consenting authorities. Notwithstanding this, the potential for in-combination effects arising from these other elements have been considered in the NIS.
