Planning application received: Permission for a) Demolition of existing milking parlour and calf shed, along with partial demolition of existing straw

A planning application has been submitted to Cork County Council for significant works at a farm near Farnanes in County Cork. The proposal involves the demolition of an existing milking parlour and calf shed, along with partial demolition of existing straw bedded housing on the site. In their place, the applicant plans to construct a new agricultural building that will incorporate a modern milking parlour with associated facilities. The development also includes a roofed collecting yard, a soiled water and parlour washings tank, and a slurry tank. Additionally, new straw bedded calf housing is proposed as part of the scheme. The application represents a significant upgrade to the farm's infrastructure, consolidating several existing structures into a more integrated facility. The works fall within the remit of agricultural development and have been formally lodged with the local planning authority for consideration. Full details of the application are available through Cork County Council's planning portal.
