Planning application received: a) unauthorised works comprising alterations to the existing building, including new windows and doors to the front faça

Tipperary County Council has received a planning application relating to unauthorised works at No. 1 Main Street in Templemore. The application addresses alterations already carried out to the existing building, specifically modifications to the front façade involving the installation of new windows and doors.

Alongside regularising these unauthorised works, the applicant is also seeking permission for a broader development scheme. This encompasses the conversion of vacant upper floor space above the commercial unit into three residential apartments. The application includes provision for all associated site works, ancillary storage facilities, and necessary services to support the new residential units.

The dual nature of the application—addressing existing unauthorised alterations while simultaneously proposing new residential development—suggests an effort to both regularise current conditions and expand the use of the building. The conversion of upper floors into residential accommodation could contribute to housing provision in the town centre.

Further details regarding the application timeline and any public consultation period can be found through Tipperary County Council's planning portal.
