A refusal to create residential accommodation in a garage in Tipperary town has been upheld by An Coimisiún Pleanála. An Coimisiún Pleanála has refused a Tipperary man’s appeal against a decision to convert the garage of his home into residential accommodation. Despite Mr Hassett’s appeal, an An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) inspector said that the decision to refuse planning permission should be upheld. The inspector also said that they were unable to confirm the planning status of the garage, or its date of construction. As a result, An Coimisiún Pleanála refused planning permission, citing unresolved concerns over the planning status of the building and the substandard nature of the proposed accommodation.
