To construct a Sheep shed and an adjoining Lambing shed and ancillary works i.e. concrete

Michael Finnegan has applied to Sligo County Council for permission to build a sheep shed and an adjoining lambing shed on his farm at Lugdoon in Templeboy, Co Sligo. The proposal also includes ancillary works – a concrete yard area and an effluent tank – all intended solely for agricultural use. Access would be via the existing farm road and public road entrance.

The application was received by the council on 28 April 2026 under reference 2660156. Sligo County Council issued a conditional decision, which was formally decided on 4 June 2026, ahead of the scheduled decision date of 22 June 2026. The decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, indicating that certain conditions must be satisfied before construction can proceed.

The farmyard area remains unchanged and the proposed structures are to be situated within the existing boundaries of the property. No additional land acquisition or major infrastructure changes have been requested.

For further details on the planning application, see the Sligo County Council file (Reference 2660156).
