New playing field for Mayo county town football club approved

CASTLEBAR Town football club has been given the go-ahead to construct a new all-weather playing field.

The pitch will be adjacent to the club's existing pitch at Rinshinna, Castlebar.

The proposal includes fencing and lighting together with all ancillary site works.

A planner's report said the facility is modest in scale at 40m x 18m and is ancillary to the main playing pitch.

It is a condition of planning that lighting will be erected in such a way as not to shine directly on adjacent properties or in the path of vehicles.
