Following on from public consultation events held in 2021, we have progressed the project design and have now produced a final wind turbine layout. The revisions to the draft layout previously presented are primarily associated with feedback from the public, and revisions to the site constraints arising from further studies.
The revised proposal, for which BnM and SSE Renewables intend to submit a planning application in the coming months, comprises of 11 turbines with an overall tip height of 200 metres. For reference, the previous draft layout, published in 2021, consisted of 14 turbines, with an overall tip height of 200 metres.
Should there be any significant change to the proposed layout prior to submission we will keep you informed.
A Public Information Evening will be held to discuss the final layout on 8th October 2025, from 5.00pm to 8.30pm in Moycarkey Borris Community & Sport Centre, Ballybeg, Littleton, Thurles, Co. Tipperary, E41 A0V5.

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, Bord na Móna 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.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the Community Engagement Sessions and submitted feedback through the various channels provided as part of the consultation process for the proposed development.
Community Engagement Sessions
BnM intend to hold a series of Community Engagement Sessions regarding its draft layout for the proposed Littleton Wind Farm as follows:
Tuesday 30th November: Moycarkey-Borris Community Centre
Wednesday 1st December: Glengoole Community Hall
Thursday 2nd December: Gortnahoe Community Centre
All sessions will run from 5pm-9pm.
BnM invites you to attend one of these Community Engagement Sessions during the scheduled opening hours. For more information on the proposed development contact the Project’s Community Liaison Officer Colm on 087-4143305.
These Sessions will be held in line with the most up to date Covid-19 Government Health Guidelines. Attendees will be required to provide proof of COVID Certificate & ID before entry.

In addition, subject to the proposed further easing of Covid-19 restrictions (currently scheduled for the 22 October) we intend to hold a series of Community Engagement Sessions in late November in the locality of the proposed development. While we do not have a schedule of fixed dates at this time (due to pending confirmation of the easing of restrictions mentioned above), once known, details of these Sessions will be advertised via local media or alternatively, if you have signed up to our project mailing list you will receive a letter via post with these details. If you would like to find out more about the Sessions and/or register your interest in attending, please contact the Project’s Community Liaison Officer Colm on (087-4143305) or complete the expression on interest form here:
In advance of these sessions the project team is circulating the following material to homes in the vicinity of the proposed wind farm:
- Project Information Booklet
- A Photomontage Booklet
- An A2 double sided map
- A Feedback Questionnaire and a freepost envelope
