AGRICULTURAL STORAGE SHED AND ASSOCIATED SITE WORKS

Donegal County Council has refused a planning application submitted by Patrick Mulkern for an agricultural storage shed and associated site works at Strad or Glebe, Glencolmcille, Donegal PO. The application was received on 30 April 2026 and the council issued its decision on 18 June 2026, ahead of the scheduled decision date of 24 June. The refusal means that no construction may proceed until further permission is obtained.

The proposal would have involved building a storage shed for agricultural machinery or livestock, but the council’s decision does not publish reasons for the refusal. The application was recorded under reference 2660771 and appears on the council’s public planning list. Similar applications in the county – such as those for a new carport attached to an existing shed in Letterkenny and a slatted sheep shed at Keeloges – have also been listed recently.

The decision follows a broader pattern of scrutiny over agricultural development projects across Donegal, with several other proposals being considered by the council. Applicants wishing to appeal or resubmit must do so within the statutory period set out in the decision notice.

See the council’s planning file (reference 2660771) for full details.
