Search Results for 'Contravention'

The members of Mayo County Council this week refused to grant a material contravention to the Ballinrobe Local Area Plan which would have paved the way for a new discount supermarket at Friarsquarter West in the town. The material contravention had been put before the members for the September meeting of the council following a report by acting senior planner for Mayo County Council, John McMyler, which was given to the members. None of the members in the chamber proposed granting the contravention so the item failed to be passed. Speaking to the Mayo Advertiser this week, local Fine Gael councillor Michael Burke said that it was not a decision against the retailer who had applied but about the overall proper development of the town.
