Compliance with enforcement notice would see closure of shopping centre, owners say
Summary
GL Ireland ICAV, owners of Thurles Shopping Centre, claim that compliance with enforcement notices issued by Tipperary County Council would force the centre to close permanently. The notices, issued after the council's decision to enforce conditions tied to the 2007 planning permission, require the closure of a delivery entrance, landscaping on land the company does not own, removal and repositioning of external windows and doors, and construction of a maintenance building and bicycle park. GL Ireland argues the notices were served outside the time limits set by the 2000 Planning and Development Act and that the council acted irrationally, unreasonably and contrary to law. The company has brought a High Court challenge, seeking to quash the notices and obtain a declaration of the council's unlawful conduct. Justice Seamus Noonan granted permission ex‑parte and placed a stay on further council action pending the case, with a return date set for December.
