Permission for development to: a). restore and convert former railway station building to

Trim Tennis Club has lodged a planning application with Meath County Council for an ambitious regeneration project centred on the town's former railway station building. The proposal involves restoring and converting the historic structure into a modern tennis clubhouse, with the addition of canopies along the eastern and southern elevations to enhance the facility.

The development plan also includes the construction of four outdoor tennis courts that would meet professional standards, certified as ITF Class 1 Professional courts. The courts would be equipped with comprehensive sports lighting, featuring ten poles positioned at twelve metres in height positioned at the corners of each court. A viewing area is planned along the southern aspect of the facility.

The project represents a significant investment in recreational infrastructure for Trim, breathing new life into a derelict heritage building while establishing dedicated sporting facilities for the local community. The conversion of the former railway station into a clubhouse would preserve the structure's historical character whilst adapting it for contemporary use.

The planning application is currently under consideration by Meath County Council's planning department, which will assess the proposal against development guidelines and local planning policies.

Further details are available through the Meath County Council planning portal.
