The electricity network operator is seeking permission to continue operating two existing high-voltage transmission lines for a further five years beyond their current ten-year approval period. No new infrastructure is being built — this is purely to extend the life of existing lines.
The two lines run across 1.89 km combined. One line extends from Carrickmines to Cherrywood to Deansgrange (0.79 km). The other runs from Carrickmines to Cherrywood to Fassaroe East (1.10 km). Both use a mix of wooden poles (approximately 19 metres high) and steel lattice masts (approximately 17.5 metres high) to support the three cables on each line.
The lines connect Carrickmines substation to Cherrywood substation and onward to Deansgrange and Fassaroe East, forming part of Dublin's electricity distribution network. A portion of the development site falls within the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone.
