Retention Permission for (a) the existing building within revised site boundaries

A planning application has been submitted to Kerry County Council seeking retention permission for an existing building within revised site boundaries, along with a number of alterations to its use and structure.

The proposal involves a change of use from a medical centre to a pharmacy occupying 24 square metres, and the conversion of a private residential space to pharmacy use covering 53 square metres at ground floor level. The application also seeks permission for modifications to the building's access and natural lighting, specifically the formation of double doors on the eastern side at ground floor level and the installation of a roof light on the western side.

Retention permission applications are typically submitted when building work or a change of use has already taken place and the applicant wishes to formalise the position with the local authority. The retention element of this proposal suggests that some of these changes may already have been implemented on site.

The application is being processed by Kerry County Council's planning department. Those with an interest in the proposal or who wish to make submissions can engage with the council's planning process through the standard procedures.

For full details of the application and to view the submitted documentation, the planning register on Kerry County Council's website should be consulted.
