Direct Planning Application to An Bord Pleanála in Respect of a Strategic Infrastructure Development

Introduction

Bord Na Móna Plc. (hereafter referred to as Bord na Móna) proposes to develop a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) Facility (Drehid MBT Facility) in its landholding located within the townlands of Coolcarrigan, Drummond and Kilkeaskin, Carbury, County Kildare.

The site is located within a larger Bord na Móna landholding, which comprises 2,544 hectares (ha). The permitted and operational Drehid Waste Management Facility is located within this landholding and is located approximately 1km north of the proposed MBT Facility site.

The proposed Drehid MBT Facility will primarily accept and process municipal solid waste (MSW) and will provide for an overall capacity of 250,000 tonnes per annum (TPA). Mechanical Biological Treatment through a combination of mechanical processing and biological treatment (such as composting and dry anaerobic digestion) reduces the volume of waste which requires treatment by more traditional methods of disposal such as landfill.

This application by Bord na Móna for the development of the Drehid MBT Facility is being made directly to An Bord Pleanála as 'Strategic Infrastructure Development' under the provisions of Section 37 of the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act, 2006, the Planning and Development Act, 2000 as amended and the associated Planning Regulations.
