Planning conditional: for the construction of a loose equine housing shed with effluent storage tank, rainwater harvesting tanks, wash down ba

Clare County Council has issued a conditional decision on a planning application lodged by Aglish, Kilnaboy, Ennis. The proposal concerns the construction of a loose equine housing shed at the Aglish site, together with an effluent storage tank, rainwater harvesting tanks, wash‑down bays and a roofed manure pit. Ancillary site works and services are also included in the application.

The application was received by the council on 11 April 2026. After consideration, the council granted a conditional decision on 31 August 2026. The decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, and the council has set a deadline of 1 September 2026 for the applicant to address any remaining conditions before the decision can be finalised.

The proposal is situated in Ennis, County Clare, and the applicant is the local Aglish community group. The council’s decision reflects the need for the applicant to comply with environmental and site‑specific requirements before construction can proceed. The conditions attached to the decision are not detailed in the public record, but the council has indicated that the applicant must meet all stipulated criteria to move forward.

The decision is part of the council’s ongoing review of equine housing developments in the area, which aims to balance agricultural needs with environmental stewardship. The council’s planning portal lists the application reference as 2660241 and provides the full decision documentation for public scrutiny.

The conditional nature of the decision means that the applicant must submit further information or make adjustments to the proposal by the specified deadline. If the conditions are satisfied, the council will issue a final approval, allowing construction to commence. Until then, the project remains on hold pending compliance with the council’s requirements.
