create unsustainable power, and the role that wind farms can play in providing this power source, but the difficulty with planning permission for tall buildings is making this policy difficult
bring to reality in time to meet the targets. To demonstrate the difficulty with tall buildings we can look at a case where planning permission was refused even after
an appeal. For example, in February 2003 planning permission was refused by Leitrim County Council when O2 Communications Ltd applied to erect a mast 24 meters tall with two
dishes and three antennas surrounded by a 2.4 meter high meshing at the base (An Bord Plean?la, 2003). The site was a remote site, visible from a two
minor roads and is access though a small field only and typical of the sites that are granted permission in the UK. There is also a policy in Ireland to
