There will be no issue here for the applicant concerned. He can apply on-line for the three bay unit and the existing planning in place for the four bay unit can also be submitted. The terms and conditions of the scheme allow for such circumstances. The applicant should also note that no grant-aid is payable for any works commenced in advance of approval from my Department.
