Permission Received at Department of Marine to Extend Dunmore East Harbour

4th March 2022

Permission granted to extend Dunmore East Harbour, Co. Waterford

At the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, planning permission has been granted for the extension of a harbour in Waterford.

Waterford City and County Council approved the application - which was submitted in December 2021 - for the 18 metre long extension to Dunmore East Harbour.

The proposed changes will be made to the existing West Wharf Pontoon system and supported on steel piles.

According to the application on the council's website, it will reportedly be used for "marine activities".

The approval for the extension is conditional, meaning it is subject to five conditions specified in decision documentation.
