Planning has been lodged for the demolition of a derelict B&B building on the N24 in Tipperary,

Maurice Regan has made the application to Tipperary County County for the development at Newtownanner, Killaloan Lower, Clonmel, county Tipperary,

The application seeks the demolition and removal of two derelict properties, the old B&B building, Site A and neighbouring bungalow Site B.

With regard to Site A the project involves the levelling/grading of the land to create a green field with specimen tree planting and incorporating flood and storm water detention scheme, the creation of a new boundary consisting of a post and rail fence, situated 14 meters off the N24 metal road edge, with selected trees behind, the closing of the existing vehicle entrance gate off the N24 and creation of a new entrance to the north onto the "Old Clonmel Road".
