    Just wondering has anyone tried to get a refund from their CoCo for contributions paid for planning permission. A farmer is entitled to give son/daughter 1 site exempt from paying above if proven that they are taking over the family farm. If you have manged to get a refund, what proof did you have to provide to CoCo? Herd number in own name? Land in own name?

    assuming this is in roscommon?

    their development contribution scheme states
    (t) Applications for a dwelling on the family farm holding from the inheritor of that farm holding will receive a 100% exemption from the development charge subject to the following conditions:

    (i) The inheritor must be taking over the family farm enterprise. Appropriate evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority must be produced.
    (ii) The family farm must be registered to the applicant on the date of application. Appropriate evidence to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority must be produced.
    (iii) Where the family farm is not registered to the applicant on the date of application, a condition requiring payment of the relevant contribution will be included in any permission granted and will be payable in the normal manner. Development Contributions paid in these circumstances will be refunded when the registration has been completed, subject to (i) above and evidence of registration being complied with.
    (iv) Only one exemption, including any exemption already availed of or availed of through (u), shall be applicable to the family farm landholding.
    (100% exemption from the development charge)
