Monaghan County Council has granted planning permission for the development of the former Castleblayney market house. Development will include change of use, refurbishment, and restoration of the historic and protected building.
It will be transformed into a public facility providing cultural, retail, hospitality, offices use, and associated ancillary spaces. Works will include a new roof top events space and open air viewing deck, restoration of the bell tower, alterations and expansion of the plaza surrounding the Big Tom statue, and the upgrading and widening of footpaths.
The local authority has determined that an Environmental Impact Assessment is not required.
