Permission for development which will consist/consists of the construction of a new 174m²

Alexion Pharma International Operations Ltd. has submitted a planning application to Roscommon County Council for the construction of a new 174‑square‑metre single‑storey modular building extension to its existing Fill Finish Warehouse in Monksland, Athlone, Co. Roscommon. The proposal includes external signage on the north elevation of the warehouse and a range of ancillary site works.

The application calls for the demolition of the current external concrete stairs, concrete ramps and sections of footpath together with associated railings. In their place, Alexion plans to erect a new concrete footpath, new concrete stairs and accompanying railings. The developer also proposes modifications to underground services at its manufacturing facility to accommodate the extension.

The site is subject to an Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) licence, register number P1094‑01, which has now been reclassified as an Industrial Emissions Licence (IEL). This licence covers the activities that will take place on the property during construction and operation of the new modular building.

Roscommon County Council has received the application but no decision has yet been made. The council will consider the proposal in line with its planning procedures, and a determination is expected once all relevant assessments have been completed. No timetable for approval or commencement of works has been announced at this stage.

For further information on the application, readers can consult the Roscommon County Council planning file.
