What’s proposed
the development will consist of the redevelopment of the existing Lanesboro 110kV AIS substation with a new 110 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substation. The 110 kV GIS substation redevelopment will comprise of the following elements: (i) A110 kV GIS substation contained within a building with a gross floor area of approximately 1,470m2 (54m x 15m) and a height of 15m. Associated development within the footprint of the GIS substation development will include: 6 no. lightning rods of approximately 3m in height located on the parapet of the GIS Building: a Distribution System Operator (DSO) compound (approximately 30m2); an internal circulation road of approximately 245m in length and 5m in width, 12 no. car parking spaces; underground stormwater attenuation tank; underground foul wastewater pumping station and all associated site development and landscaping works. The substation will be bounded by a palisade fence 2.6m in height and bounded with a property fence 1.4m in height; (ii) The modification of 8 no. existing 110 kV underground circuits which will be re-routed into the new 110 kV GIS substation: Sliabh Bawn-Lanesboro underground circuit, Cloon-Lanesboro underground circuit, Athlone-Lanesboro underground circuit, Richmond 1-Lanesboro underground circuit, Richmond 2-Lanesboro underground circuit, Lough Ree Power T104-Lanesboro underground circuit, T141-Lanesboro underground circuit and Mullingar-Lanesboro underground circuit. Associated development includes the construction of 3 no. underground joint bays; 1 no. gantry tower (footpring of 30.2m2 and a height of 12.5m); 1 no. Line Cable Interface Mast (footprint of 123m2 and the height of 20.7m) and all associated and ancillary transmission infrastructure. (iii) The construction of a Landowner access road of approximately 91m in lenghth and 6m in width
