An Bord Pleanala has been asked to adjudicate on a planning issue in Carrick on Suir.
Tipperary County Council refused permission for a new apartment development at Barrack Lane in the town.
The proposals from Thomas Duggan included eight self-contained apartments in a new two-storey building.
The site was to the rear of St Joseph’s Convent of Mercy on the Main Street which is a protected structure.
He has now lodged an appeal with An Bord Pleanala against the refusal with a decision due in mid-July.
