New lease of life for former Tipperary pub as planning permission granted
Permission has been granted for a former Tipperary pub to get a second life as a betting office.
Boyle Sports had applied to Tipperary County Council for retention permission for works carried out at a former pub on Cathedral Street in Thurles, as well as a change of use application to continue with plans to use the building as a betting office.
The former pub was known as Corbett’s, and had been closed for some time.
Boyle Sports had applied to Tipperary County Council for permission to retain internal works carried out to the ground floor of former public house. The works to be retained include alterations made to the internal ground floor layout, removal of internal partitions and stairs, external alterations along with associated works.
Permission is also sought for a change of use of the existing ground floor from use as a public house to a Boyle Sports bookmakers, which would see the existing Boyle Sports outlet on Cathedral Street located to this new unit.
Internal and external alterations, erection of satellite dishes, new signage together with all ancillary works also form part of the planning application.
Tipperary County Council granted permission for the works, subject to seven conditions.
