Hi, not sure if im posting in the right section,
I have received planning permission for a change of use from industrial use to recreational use, however it has a couple of conditions and one of which is a development contribution. close to 50,000 euros. My new business cannot impose such financial levies. Can they impose a development contribution on a change of use? I have asked why they impose this charge and they say its an intensification into the area, the original industrial use would have employed 500 people. my use will employ 4 people. there is no justification on what they say.
I originally had a pre plan meeting with the town engineer and he said there be no development contribution, but my fault as i did not get this on paper. Also the time period has passed for me to appeal to the Bord within the 30 days of recieving the grant. Has anyone ever came across a similar case or can advise me as my venture will employ 4 people along with myself.
Thanks
