Solar Planning in Co. Wexford
Specialist solar planning documentation for developers, farmers, and contractors in County Wexford — accepted by Wexford County Council and An Bord Pleanála.
Solar Planning in County Wexford
Wexford has the highest solar irradiance in Ireland, making it one of the most commercially attractive counties for solar farm development. Its south-eastern location, combined with large agricultural landholdings and a growing grid connection pipeline, is driving strong developer interest.
SolarPlan Ireland has prepared planning documentation for solar projects across County Wexford, working with local developers, planning consultants, and energy companies to navigate Wexford County Council's planning requirements — and, where needed, An Bord Pleanála proceedings.
For Wexford solar projects we most often prepare a glint and glare assessment, solar PV planning drawings and, where landscape sensitivity requires it, a landscape plan.
Planning Authority
Wexford County Council
Wexford County Council's Development Plan supports renewable energy development while protecting the county's distinctive landscape character, particularly along the Wexford coast and in the Blackstairs Mountains area. The council has processed a number of solar applications and expects comprehensive technical documentation addressing visual, ecological, and landscape impacts.

Key Planning Considerations in Co. Wexford
- Wexford's coastal landscapes and hook peninsula are subject to strict visual amenity policies — Landscape Plans must be responsive to the specific character of these areas.
- The county has important bird migration routes and internationally designated wetlands — ecological impact assessment is frequently required for large-scale projects.
- Proximity to Waterford Airport flight paths requires glint and glare assessment for projects in the south of the county.
- Wexford has a strong agricultural heritage tourism sector — visual impact on rural character and tourism assets is a material planning consideration.
