Development Description
The development will consist of a 38 kV / MV electrical substation, underground cables and associated works. The development will include the following elements - see site notice for full description due to limited characters here. 1)Construction of a substation compound of approximately 2,850 m2 gross area, with 2.6 m high palisade fence around the entire perimeter of the substation, with the following electrical plant within the substation: 1 No. prefabricated 38 kV GIS module and foundation (c.31m2 and c.5.2 m high); 1 No. prefabricated MV GIS module and foundation (c.32m2 and c.4.7 m high); 1 No. prefabricated Control Room module and foundation (c.32m2 and c.4.7 m high); 2 No. 38/20 kV 10 MVA transformers and associated bunds (c.15m2, c.4.5 m high ea.); Telecommunication SCADA pole of c.10 metres in height; Associated and ancillary outdoor electrical equipment and other apparatus, including installation of underground cables; Internal access road of c.40 m in length and c.5m wide within the proposed substation; Compound lighting, boundary treatment, associated drainage, landscaping and all ancillary site development works; 2)Use of a portion of the existing temporary road (c.200 m in length) permitted as part of the recent MSD Rathgall development (Planning Ref: 21/360 & 22/110) for permanent use to facilitate access to the proposed substation; 3)Construction of new stone wall, fencing and gates at the existing junction of the temporary road with the public road; 4)Construction of an internal access road (c.140 m in length) to the proposed substation extending from the existing temporary road on the MSD lands to the proposed substation; 5)Site clearance works related to the proposed substation compound and access road; 6)Installation of c.1.3 kilometres of double-circuit 38 kV underground cables (UGC) along the R448 road between the proposed substation and the existing Carlow – Graigue 38 kV OHL; 7)Installation of c.0.7 kilometres of single circuit 38 kV UGC along the R448 road between the proposed substation and the existing Carlow – Ballylinan 38 kV OHL; 8)Installation of c.0.3 kilometres of six circuit MV UGC along the R448 road between the proposed substation and the existing R448 roundabout; 9)Installation of a new 12 m high steel lattice mast on the existing Carlow – Graigue 38 kV OHL; 10)Replacement of an existing timber poleset (IMP 1395) with a new 15 m high steel lattice mast on the existing Carlow – Ballylinan 38 kV OHL - this applicatio
