We, Simon Beale + Associates, are applying to Mayo County Council, on behalf of Western Care Association for full planning permission for the following: change of use from Office use to Day Services use with all associated site works, including car parking at The IPI Centre, Golden Mile Industrial Park, Breaffy Road, Castlebar, Co.

- Granting permission would establish an undesirable precedent for non-conforming uses in an industrial park setting and would be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
