Construct new 3 bay slatted sheep shed and dungstead and widen existing entrance access

A planning application has been approved for agricultural development at Castlerock near Aclare in County Sligo. Matthew Lang has received conditional permission from Sligo County Council to construct a new three-bay slatted sheep shed and dungstead on the site. The proposal also includes widening the existing entrance access and carrying out associated site works and services. The application was accompanied by a Natura Impact Statement, which assesses potential effects on protected natural habitats and species in the area. Sligo County Council issued its conditional decision on the project in late April 2026. The conditions attached to the permission will need to be satisfied before development can commence on site. Further details are available from Sligo County Council's planning records.
