Full proposal: The Proposed Development will consist of solar PV modules ground mounted on support structures inverter/transformers temporary construction compounds internal access tracks security fencing electrical cabling and ducting CCTV substation and other ancillary infrastructure drainage additional landscaping and habitat enhancement as required and associated site development works relating to the access of the site. The proposed solar farm will be operational for 35 years and comprises of approximately 102 hectares of land to the south of Windyhill Road Coleraine. An associated underground cable of c. 0.75km in length will run from the proposed substation within the Application Site to Coleraine Substation to the west of Bushtown Road. Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) will take place on either side of the Black Burn watercourse within the Application site. Horizontal Direction Drilling (HDD) is a method of drilling under obstacles such as bridges railways watercourses etc. in order to install cable ducts under the obstacle. This method is employed where installing the ducts using standard installation methods is not possible. As part of the works entry and exit pits (approximately 2m (W) x 3m (L) x 1m deep) will be excavated on either side of the watercourse using an excavator with the excavated material temporarily stored within the works area and used for reinstatement. The decommissioning of the Proposed Development has been considered within chapters and assessments. Please see associated planning and environmental chapters and technical assessments in Volume 2 and Volume 4 respectively for further detail. Once decommissioned the cable route will be disconnected and left in-situ.
