Pennys has submitted a planning application to KCC for a 60,000 square metre distribution and logistics hub in Great Connell.
The council is due to issue its decision in late October, and could impose a levies bill of €3 million.

KCC says, however, that "Development contributions are calculated in accordance with the Development Contribution Scheme"
