- The applicant must confirm the intended use of the machinery shed to ensure it constitutes a 'permissible use' within the RA Rural Area zoning objective.

- The Planning Authority requires additional data to determine if the proposal conforms to the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027 standards for rural development.
