Plans for a new astro turf pitch in Mohill have been approved, with floodlighting, and fencing works included.
Planning permission has been granted for the development of a brand new astro turf pitch in Mohill, along with other new sports facilities.
A planning application was submitted in March by Mohill Community and Sports Hub CLG for the construction of a new 50 metre by 34 metre synthetically surfaced sports pitch, together with the erection of flood lighting, the installation of sports fencing with ball stop netting, and all associated ancillary site development works.

The conditions include that site development and building works shall only be carried out between the hours of 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 2pm on Saturday; that the floodlighting shall not operate between the hours of 10pm and 9am, unless in exceptional circumstances as otherwise agreed in advance in writing with the Planning Authority of Leitrim County Council.
Conditions also state that all service lines and cables serving the proposed development shall be located underground; and that the applicant shall be responsible for the proper design, construction, and maintenance of all surface water drains installed as part of the proposed development.
