At the meeting of Donegal County Council on 30th June 2014, the Members decided to make a Variation (No. 2) to the County Donegal Development Plan 2012-2018 (As Varied) as provided for in Section 13 of the Planning and Development Act 2000-2016. The Variation relates to Chapters 7 & 10 of the CDP 2012-2018 (As Varied) regarding wind energy.
On 6th October 2016 the Minister notified Donegal County Council of his decision pursuant to Section 31(16)(a) of the Act to issue a Direction omitting those amendments that were made through Variation No.2 at the meeting of Donegal County Council on 30th June 2014. However, following the making of a Consent Order by the High Court on 14th March 2017, inclusive of a term that the Minister’s Direction “be quashed without further Order”, the Council is now required to restore Variation No. 2 and thus make the County Development Plan conform to the Court Order.
Pursuant to a Chief Executive’s Order, the Variation has now been restored and may be cited as Variation No. 2 (Wind Energy) to the County Donegal Development Plan 2012-2018 (as varied).
