To construct two agricultural shed, one for use as sheep housing and one for storage of

Derek Burke of Belmont in Milltown, Tuam, applied to Galway County Council for permission to build two agricultural sheds – one intended as sheep housing and the other for storing feedstuffs such as hay and straw, along with general farm machinery. The application also sought approval for a dung shed and an effluent storage tank with a 5‑cubic‑metre capacity, plus the creation of an entrance onto a public roadway.

The council received the proposal on 28 April 2026 and issued its decision on 18 June 2026. The planning authority refused the application (decision code REFUSED). No further details were provided in the decision notice beyond the refusal status and the dates of receipt and determination.

The site for the proposed structures is located at Belmont, Milltown, Tuam, within County Galway. The refusal means that the sheds, dung shed, effluent tank and roadway entrance will not be constructed as outlined by Mr Burke.

For full details of the application and decision, see Galway County Council planning file reference 2660651.
