Planning application 2660018

permission for the proposed development consisting of : i. A 10-year permission for a Renewable Biogas Plant and associated road improvements, on a site of approximately 6.2 hectares located immediately west of the R189 Road and south of the L2280 Road, on lands in the townlands of Maghernakelly and Drumcall, Co. Monaghan. The proposed Plant will generate renewable biogas from 99,000 tonnes per annum of poultry manure, along with other biodegradable agricultural and agri-food organic materials, utilising anaerobic digestion technology. The development will consist of: (a) Buildings and associated Structures: Administration Building (432sq.m GFA and approx. 5.94m High (h); Main Process Building (9,104sq.m GFA and approx. 12.58m-14.91m h) with odour control system and associated dispersion stack approx. 40m h; Digestate Dryer Building (972sq.m GFA and approx. 16.54m h); Pellet Storage & Distribution Building (875sq.m GFA and approx. 12.34m h); a Combined Heat and Power Building (368.5sq.m GFA and approx. 10.01m h); Control Building (183.1sq.m GFA and approx. 5.57m h); Containerised Boiler (approx. 5.44m h); a Combined Dryer/Boiler/CHP dispersion stack approx. 20m h); and a Plant Room (22sq.m GFA and approx. 4.75m h). (b) Bunded Tank Farm: including a Digestate Treatment Plant (approx. 20m h); 6 no. Digester Tanks (approx. 27.86m h); a Sludge Buffer Tank (approx. 18.1m h); an Evaporator Feed Tank (approx. 12.1m h); a Condensate Tank (approx. 10.6m h); a Concentrate Tank (approx. 10.6m h); a Hot Water Tank (approx. 5.6m h); 2 no. Ammonia Strippers (approx. 9m h); 2 no. Desulphurisation Units (approx. 14m h); 2 no. Activated Carbon Units (approx. 5m h); a Gas Holder (approx. 10.65m h) with 4 no. approx. 13m high lightning rods. (c) A CO2 Liquefaction Plant (approx. 14.6m h); a Biogas Upgrade Plant (approx. 10.85m h); 4 no. Fan Coolers (approx. 2.2m H); a Flare Unit (approx. 10.1m H); a Fuel Storage Tank (approx. 1.85m h); a Gas Grid Entry Unit (approx. 5.1m h); a Firewater Tank (approx. 10.1m h); 3 no. LPG Tanks (approx. 3.8m h); 5 no. Feedstock Storage Tanks (approx. 9.5m h); an undergrounded Water Tank; a backup generator (approx. 2.6m h). (d) Provision of 35 car parking spaces and a covered cycle parking area. (e) A new vehicular access to the biogas facility from the northern site boundary, connecting to the L2280, designed to provide safe and efficient access for all vehicle types. (f) Local road improvement works to the L2280, (continued on
