Proposed Thurles McDonald’s Restaurant Placed On Hold.

A planning application decision, due to be made by Thursday 21st November 2024, in relation to the erection and development of a drive-thru 24 hour McDonald’s restaurant, on land in the area of Slievenamon Road and the junction of the proposed Thurles inner relief road (yet to be funded) has been put on hold by Tipperary Co. Council, following a request for ‘Further Information’ by the Council.

This decision comes about before some 22 submissions containing numerous objections are taken into consideration by the Tipperary planning authority.

In correspondence forwarded to the Agents representing McDonald’s Restaurants of Ireland Ltd. the planning authority has raised serious concerns that the development will attract a large number of vehicles at peak times which may exceed both the on-site parking provision and limited queuing space within the development.

Tipperary Co. Council notes that no assessment of queuing of traffic going into the proposed development has been provided by McDonalds and their Agents and that traffic queues may extend back onto the proposed Thurles Inner Relief Road and subsequently the N62 Junction. McDonald’s Restaurants of Ireland Ltd is now requested to provide an assessment of queuing of traffic through the drive-thru thus addressing foregoing concerns.

As a result of Tipperary Co. Council’s planning authorities request, McDonalds and their Agents have a period of up to 6 months to comply with the request for Further Information. Thereafter the Council will assess the overall application, including the further information being requested, within the period of 4 weeks from the date upon which McDonald’s comply with the council’s most recent request.
