285 valid planning applications in Nenagh district

Tipperary Co Council received a total of 285 valid planning applications in the Nenagh Municipal District in 2016.

This compared to 300 applications the previous year. Of the 2016 applications, 249 were granted planning permission while eight were refused. The council's planning department also received 58 complaints in relation to alleged unauthorised development in the Nenagh district last year.

Cllr John Carroll (FF) last week welcomed the low number of planning refusals in the district, where he said the council has been very proactive in dealing with planning applications.
