Planning conditional: Permission for development consisting of: • The construction and operation of a wind farm consistin

Roscommon County Council has granted conditional permission for a wind‑farm development proposed by Ballyfeeny Green Energy Limited. The application, received on 15 September 2025, covers the townlands of Pollymount, Bellanamullia, Scramoge, Treanaceeve and Ballyhubert in County Roscommon. The council’s decision, recorded under reference 2560446, was made on 20 August 2026 and carries the code “CONDITIONAL”.

The approved scheme will see six wind turbines erected between Scramogue and Kilglass. The council’s decision notes that the development will be subject to a number of conditions, although the specific requirements are not detailed in the public record. The approval follows a review of the application and the submission of planning documents by the applicant.

Local opposition to the project has been significant. Over 100 submissions were filed with the council, reflecting strong community concern about the visual and environmental impact of the turbines. Despite this, the council has decided to proceed with the development, subject to the conditions attached to the permission.

The decision is part of the council’s ongoing planning register and will be monitored for compliance with the conditions set out in the approval. Ballyfeeny Green Energy Limited will need to secure any further permits or approvals required for construction and operation, and will be expected to demonstrate that the project meets all relevant environmental and planning standards.

The conditional nature of the permission means that the developer must adhere to the conditions imposed by the council, and any breach could result in enforcement action or revocation of the approval.
