High Court upheld the decision to grant permission for the development of an 11-turbine wind farm, rejecting challenges based on visual impact, water supply concerns, and turbine setback distances, the court finding that the planning authority, An Bord Pleanála (the Board) had adequately considered the environmental impact on the local water source, and that the visual impact on the landscape was sufficiently assessed; and the Board's decision to grant permission was supported by comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment reports and did not require a site visit by Board members.
