Green light for Nenagh medical centre

Planning permission has been granted for the development of a medical centre in Nenagh.

Pierce Finn Pharmacy Ltd has received conditional permission for a partial change of use from retail to medical centre at 18-21 Pearse St. Included in the plan are building works consisting of the partial demolition of the existing three-storey extension to the rear, construction of a new three-storey extension to the rear, and general internal reconfiguration works that include internal linking of the buildings, and remedial works. Alterations to the front elevations onto Pearse Street, signage, alterations to the existing rear car park and boundary walls, and landscaping is also included in the plan.

The proposed works are within the curtilage of a Protected Structure and in an Architectural Conservation Area. Among the conditions, the council required that the works be monitored by a conservation architect. The council also directed that all contractors and sub-contractors engaged to work on the project should be fully briefed on the significance of the structure.
