Donegal Donkey Sanctuary (DDS), a donkey rescue centre based in Co. Donegal, have reported on their FB page a planning matter involving an objection to a proposed development at their sanctuary.

The DDS FB post says:

For the last couple of years our team have been working very hard towards obtaining planning permission here at the sanctuary with a view to creating an even better environment for the beautiful donkeys in our care.

Last July an objection was raised by a third party towards said planning and this has caused a huge delay in moving forward. Three weeks ago, Donegal County Council passed our planning application with the stipulation that we move our entrance road a number of metres to the right in order to comply with new sight line guidelines.

We need to emphasise at this point that this entrance road was originally passed for planning almost twenty years ago as it is in fact the road to our house. It is not a new entrance.
