Project scope

additions, modifications and alterations to previously permitted Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Campus (Planning Register Reference Number 22190 and as amended by planning reference 23152 and 2461160) located at the IDA Business and Technology Park, Raheen, County Limerick, V94 2C04. The proposed development will consist of the following: 1. A two-storey biomass boiler house building with internal access mezzanines, sized 1,881 square meters approximately and 17.6 metres high approximately including a boiler stack approximately 21m high all located to the southeast of the existing permitted facility adjacent to Roches Avenue. It is proposed to construct this facility in two phases over five years. 2. It is proposed to relocate a previously permitted generator compound including 2No. generators to the northeast of this proposed biomass boiler house building and to reconfigure and reduce the generator compound. 3. The proposed development also includes the extension of the existing permitted pipe bridge located to the northwest of the biomass boiler house. 4. The proposed development also consists of minor modifications to previously permitted internal roads and footpaths, site lighting, fencing, landscaping and underground drainage system infrastructure. This application will not result in any storm water discharge to the public system. The existing terminal infiltration basin has sufficient capacity to accommodate the additional surface water run off generated by the proposed Biomass Building and associated works. The application relates to a modification to a development which comprises or is for the purposes of an activity requiring an industrial emissions licence under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 (as amended by the Protection of the Environment Act, 2003) is required
