Ciaran and Mary Josephine O’Connor have applied to Sligo County Council for permission to build a walled silage slab with a seepage collection tank at their property in Cams, Ballymote, Co Sligo. The application also proposes to decommission the existing underground tank and replace it with a new underground waste‑water holding tank. The council received the application on 25 March 2026 and the decision was due on 19 May 2026. On 18 May 2026 the council issued a conditional decision, granting the permission subject to the conditions set out in the planning file.

The decision code is listed as “CONDITIONAL” and the full description of the proposal is recorded in council file 2660112.
