Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 January 2025
1080. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if he will review the processing of various agriculture schemes considering that, currently, where applicants that are approved pending planning permission and planning is subsequently refused, they then have to repay any grants and may also face additional penalties for non-compliance. [46763/24]
View answerAny application under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) that requires planning permission is deemed invalid if evidence of full planning permission is not provided at time of application.
The terms and conditions of TAMS 3 state that, where planning permission is required, the Department will not accept an application as valid unless documentary evidence of (i) a grant of full planning permission, (ii) revised planning, where required, or (iii) a declaration of exemption for the proposed works, issued by the relevant Local Authority, accompanies the application.
