Any application under the Targeted Agriculture Modernisation Scheme (TAMS 3) that requires planning permission is deemed invalid if evidence of full planning permission is not provided at time of application.

The terms and conditions of TAMS 3 state that, where planning permission is required, the Department will not accept an application as valid unless documentary evidence of (i) a grant of full planning permission, (ii) revised planning, where required, or (iii) a declaration of exemption for the proposed works, issued by the relevant Local Authority, accompanies the application.
