All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved details of landscaping must be carried out in the first planting and seeding seasons following the completion of the development or the occupation of the dwellings, whichever is the sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of the development die, are removed, or become seriously damaged or diseased must be replaced in the next planting season with others of a similar size and species.

DAFF
Conditional No Objectionif the applicant can provide details confirming the increase in activity, it would be reasonable to extend the existing cold store.
Conditions requested: details confirming the increase in activity
Patrick Parish Commissioners
Conditional No Objectionif this means a substantial increase in vehicles the Commissioners are concerned about the adequacy of the entrance on the main road.; Because of the increase in the size of the buildings is it unreasonable to assume that the business being carried out is no longer purely agricultural and part of the farm and ought to be classed as an industrial site.; If the development is approved the Commissioners would wish the buildings to be screened.
Conditions requested: buildings to be screened
