Galway Bay fm newsroom - A plan for a solar power development at Cloonascragh in Tuam has been met with opposition.
The project led by WED Renewables Ltd would also have an electrical substation compound, control building, up to 9 inverter units and underground cable ducts.
The development would consist of the construction and operation of solar PV panels mounted on metal frames on a site extending to approximately 43 hectares with the planning application accompanied by a Natura Impact Statement.
County planners granted a 10 year permission for the development in January subject to 11 conditions.
However the project has now been appealed to An Bord Pleanála by three parties with a number of concerns including solar waste.
An Bord Pleanála is due to make a decision in June
