There are 115 bring centres that can be used to dispose of glass and cans see attached list.

There is also one bring bank that can be used to dispose of newspapers at Civic Offices, Clonmel.

 

If you have a garage and generate other waste such as oils and or batteries then these need to be disposed of appropriately and in a responsible manner. Please find a link to the Smart Garage Guide to assist you in this regard.

 

You can return waste batteries to your local shop so long as it sells the same type of battery (E.g. your local newsagents will take any portable batteries like AA but not car batteries. Your local garage will take car batteries but not portable batteries). Unlike WEEE, with batteries you don't have to purchase anything in the shop to do this; you can just drop them in the WEEE Ireland battery boxes in the store.

Just be careful when bringing back portable batteries to bring back less than 5kgs at any one time, and don't return any leaking batteries because the chemicals in leaky batteries can be dangerous to your health and the shopkeepers.

You can also return your batteries to recycling centres and other collection points free of charge.

An application may only be made by a person who has sufficient legal interest in the land to enable that person to carry out the development or who has the written consent of the owner. You should give full particulars of your legal interest in the site/structure on the planning application form.

 

There are three types of permission, namely, Outline Permission, Permission following Grant of Outline Permission and Permission.

Outline Permission is suitable when a person wants to find out if permission will be granted for a particular development but is not in a position to submit the exact plans. The grant of Outline Permission states that the Planning Authority is in agreement in principle with the proposed development, subject to the submission of an application for "Permission following grant of Outline Permission"(Permission Consequent).

Permission following grant of Outline Permission (Permission Consequent): This type of application follows the grant of an Outline Permission and must be submitted within 3 years of the grant of Outline Permission. It provides for the submission of detailed plans and drawings of the proposed development.

Permission: This type of planning application provides for the submission of detailed plans and full particulars of the proposed development. A successful application in this case will enable the applicant to commence development if he or she is otherwise entitled to do so.

 

A pre-planning consultation can be requested with the planner for your area prior to making an application.

The pre-planning consultation form must be completed and returned to the Planning Office together with the relevant location map by e-mail to planning@tipperarycoco.ie or by post to:
