Leitrim building to be converted into warehouse and tile showroom
Leitrim County Council has granted permission for a South Leitrim building to be converted into a warehouse and tile showroom.
Planning permission has been granted for the conversion of a building in South Leitrim into a warehouse and tile showroom.
An application was submitted by James and Ciara Keane on March 16 requesting permission to change the use of an existing building from light industrial use to a tile showroom at a development on Golf Links Road in Ballinamore.
The proposal also included full planning permission to alter the use of part of the open yard for the storage of commercial passenger vehicles, a use not typically associated with retail showrooms.
Planning permission was additionally sought for the installation of commercial signage at the site entrance and on the front façade of the building.
Furthermore, the application included retention permission for a range of works already completed, including all elevational changes made after the original construction, the retention of an external loading ramp and dock, and the construction of walls and a roof enclosing the loading ramp and dock.
Additional retention permission was sought for the replacement of the northwest façade from cement render to steel cladding, as well as for the construction of a new entrance gate to secure the yard.
Permission was granted by Leitrim County Council on June 3, subject to 12 conditions. These include requirements that all site development and building works take place between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday, and between 8am and 2pm on Saturdays.
Another condition stipulates that any proposed signage and associated lighting must be submitted to the Planning Authority for written approval prior to installation.
