Judge finds mast to be exempt

A High Court judge has overturned a decision of An Bord Pleanála that a partly built telecommunications mast near Ballymote railway station in Co Sligo, which was designated a protected structure after the works began, now requires planning permission. Mr Justice Frank Clarke found the structure beside Ballymote station was exempted development when work began on it in 2004 and that it continued to be so after the station was added to a list of protected structures.
