Permission for amendments to the extant planning permission reg. Ref. Sd21a/0199 for development at unit 4 of approximately 3.1 ha.

The development will consist of: to amend condition no. 2 relating to duration of permission such that the permission shall expire 8 years from the date of the final grant of permission (a 10-year permission had been sought in the statutory description pertaining to reg.

E. From 16 to 31 ev spaces; introduction of green roofing over permitted office-use area (approx. 570 sq. M) and minor increase in its internal floor level; and, the proposed scheme includes all ancillary and associated site development and landscaping works. This development is covered by the provisions of the renewable energy directive iii (directive (eu) 2023/2413) and it is important to note that the planning application may be subject to section 34d of the planning and development act 2000, as amended.
