Planning Refused For Thurles 21 Metre High Telecommunications Monopole.

A planning application, sought in the name of APW UK WIP Limited t/a icon Tower, to erect a 21 metre high telecommunication monopole (See image hereunder) with antennas, dishes and associated equipment, including an equipment cabinet at ground level, all enclosed by security fencing, within the centre of Thurles town has been refused by Tipperary County Council.

This planning refusal by Tipperary County Council has been much lauded by local residents, same living within the environs of this proposed telecommunication monopole site.
This planning had been sought for the site known as the Munster Hotel, Cathedral Street car park, situated at No 2 Kickham Street in Thurles, Co. Tipperary; latter close to the now derelict and unsightly eyesore, latter understood to be owned by Mr Martin Healy.

This is the same car parking area which remains in contention as to its future availability to provide public parking, from the end of September 2024 next. See HERE.
