    Two appeals have been lodged against this development. It is now with An Board Pleanala.

    This was anticipated, as these objections appear to be from 2 of the groups who objected to the 'original' Tesco planning application when it was made to Donegal County Council, but DCC still gave permission to Tesco for this badly needed development.

    I have a feeling that Tesco will still get the go ahead from An Board Pleanala ! ;) .

    P. :cool:

    From todays paper:
    Tesco's plans to build a supermarket and filling station in the Twin Towns are in jeopardy following two appeals to an Bord Plean·la against the developments.

    The Society of The Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) is appealing the building of the filling station at the site on the Donegal Road in Ballybofey while the building of the food store is being appealed by Shane Fitzgerald of a Galwaybased:confused: planning consultancy. Decisions on the two appeals are now due from the board in July and August.

    SIMI says it is appealing the decision by Donegal County Council to grant planning permission to Tesco for the filling station on behalf of its members in the area:rolleyes: .

    Tesco are hoping to build a 4,351 sq metre store with 328 parking. The council attached 24 conditions to the food store development and 26 to the filling station. The supermarket giant is appealing some of the minor conditions imposed.

    Chairman of the Twin Towns Chamber of Commerce, Martin Harley, said he was "disgusted and disappointed" by the objections to the development which he says is needed to attract other companies.

    Local councillor Alice Bonner said that the Twin Towns needed the supermarket to encourage shoppers to shop in the town.
