On 15 June 2026 BnM and SSE submitted a Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID) planning application to An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) for the proposed Littleton Wind Farm. The planning application has been submitted by Littleton Wind Farm DAC, a 50:50 joint venture between the co-development partners.

The wind farm layout submitted to ACP is consistent with the layout previously shared with local residents in September 2025. The proposed development comprises:

• 11 wind turbines with a proposed overall blade tip height of 200 metres;
• A minimum setback distance of 800 metres from the nearest residential property.

The Proposed Project will upgrade approximately 2.95km of existing internal site roads and provide approximately 15.45km of new internal site access roads to support construction, maintenance, and monitoring of the wind farm. As outlined in the draft amenity plan (published in September 2025), much of this internal road network will be made available for amenity uses such as walking and cycling when the Proposed Wind Farm becomes operational.

The planning application, including the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR), Natura Impact Statement (NIS) and all supporting documentation, may be inspected during public opening hours for a period of seven weeks commencing on Monday 22nd June 2026, at the following locations:

• An Coimisiún Pleanála, 64 Marlborough Street, Dublin 1, D01 V902 (9:15am – 5:30pm, Monday to Friday)

• Tipperary County Council, Civic Offices, Emmet Street, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, E91 N512 (9:30am – 4.30pm, Monday to Friday)

Tipperary E41 K802 during scheduled opening hours over the same seven-week period. For more details please contact: 051-6166131 or visit: https://www.tipperarylibraries.ie/branches/thurles-library/

BnM and SSE Renewables have launched a 50:50 joint venture which will target the delivery of up to 800MW of new renewable onshore wind energy across the Midlands.
This partnership includes the proposed Littleton Wind Farm located in Tipperary. Since the first announcement of this proposed wind farm in 2021, BnM has appointed a project Community Engagement and Stakeholder Team including a designated Community Liaison Officer to engage with local communities and near neighbours. This team remains in place and your local Community Liaison Officer, Colm will continue to be available to meet residents as before and is contactable at 087 4143305.
The joint venture partnership is fully committed to continuing to inform and engage with you through an active communication programme.
