Back in August 1982, Tom Diver opened the doors to his new shop in Ardara - and 40 years on, it's still serving the needs of the community

The applicant, Maas Wind Limited, is looking for a planning permission to be valid for a ten year period with a 40-year operational life of the proposed project from the date of its commissioning.

There will also be associated site works, including the provision of access roads and the widening of four bends and one junction along the L2563 public road between Mass and the outskirts of Ardara.

The planning application will be available for inspection at council offices and will be accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment Report and Natura Impact Statement.
