Split decision is against the National Spatial Plan and Regional Planning Guidelines - An Taisce
An Bord Pleanala have today released a split decision on the appeal by An Taisce and others against North Tipperary County Council’s decision to grant permission to Richard Quirke for a number of elements of the proposed “Tipperary Venue” development near Two Mile Boris, 11km from Thurles. The Board granted permission for the all weather horse racing track, dog racing track, 500 bed hotel and casino but refused permission for the main part of the project; the 15,000 person multipurpose event venue.
