Agricultural dry storage shed proposed for Achill

Angela Grealis has submitted a proposal to the Mayo County Council to construct an agricultural dry storage shed at Tonatanvally on Achill Island. The application, still in the early stages of the planning process, has not yet been formally validated by the council. The proposed shed would provide a secure, weather‑proof facility for the storage of agricultural produce, helping local farmers to protect their harvests from the island’s often wet conditions. The proposal is part of an effort to support agriculture on Achill, where farmers face challenges due to the island's climate. As the application is still pending, no evidence pack has been submitted and the council has not yet made a decision on the proposal. The community and stakeholders will be able to comment on the application once it is formally opened for public consultation. The council will assess the proposal against its planning policies and the potential impact on the surrounding area. The council has indicated that it will consider the proposal's compliance with county's agricultural development strategy. Until a decision is made, the project remains in planning register and will be monitored by council’s planning officers. For more details, see the Mayo County Council planning application.
