Plans for a major refurbishment of a filling station on the outskirts of Clonmel have been lodged again with Tipperary County Council, it has been revealed.
Amber Oil was granted permission in 2019 following a protracted planning process - which ended with An Bord Pleanála ruling in the company's favour.
The project included the demolition of the existing Amber petrol station and car showrooms on the Waterford Road in the busy south Tipperary town.
These were to be replaced with a new petrol station comprising of a convenience shop, deli, seated café area, outdoor seated areas, forecourt canopy and fuel pumps, according to the planning application.
An ATM and parking areas were also included in the plans for the site on the N24.
However the project never materialised but Amber Oil have just recently lodged a new application with Tipperary County Council for a "new development".
The new application - by Amber Petroleum Ltd. - has been lodged with the addition of an off-licence the only change from the previously granted plans.
The development address is at Amber Service Station, Laganore, Waterford Road, Clonmel.
The planning permission seeks: to demolish existing petrol filling station, car showrooms, vehicle servicing building, car wash and associated areas and construct new filling station comprising a new single storey building, including a convenience shop and ancillary areas, deli, seated café area, food stores, staff amenities, public amenities, managers office, service rooms, ATM, solid fuel store, bin store, outdoor seated areas, utility building, carwash, forecourt canopy and fuel dispensing pumps, general signage, underground fuel storage tanks and vents, surface water soakaway, parking areas, and all associated site works, Planning permission is also sought at this time for the sale of alcohol for consumption off the premises (off licence use to be ancillary to the primary retail use and located in within the convenience shop floor area).
A decision is due from Tipperary County Council by August 22.
