Regarding consistency, a certain large-scale solar development may require an EIA whereas another may not or one local authority may determine where another local authority may not and communities are often left frustrated in such a situation. Many solar farm developments have been approved in my own county of Waterford. I do not oppose solar farm development but some people in the community are concerned that no EIA was carried out as part of the process.
