SupportI write in support of this application which is proposing to make use of sustainable energy generation equipment.
The original application sought permission for erection of a 6kW wind turbine on a 9 metre self-supporting tapered mast with concrete base at fields 122102 and 122201, Croit-e-Creaill, Andreas Road, Andreas/St Judes. The application was refused by the Planning Committee, and the appellants lodged an appeal to the Minister for Local Government and the Environment. The Chief Secretary’s Office acknowledged the appeal (ref AP 2657), requested a statement of case from the Planning Committee for a potential inquiry, and notified consultees. Prior to the council submitting their case, the appellant withdrew the appeal request. Consequently, the Planning Committee's refusal decision stands.
Precedent Value
No precedent value as the appeal was withdrawn before substantive consideration or hearing.
