(1) DEMOLITION OF EXISTING REAR EXTENSION AND DETACHED DOMESTIC GARAGE AND (2)

A planning application submitted by Michelle Mchugh at Corlacky in Ballybofey, Lifford Post Office, County Donegal has been granted a conditional approval by Donegal County Council. The proposal involves the demolition of an existing rear extension and a detached domestic garage on the property, followed by the construction of a new single‑storey extension that will be attached to the current dwelling house. Associated site development works are also included in the application.

The council received the application on 5 May 2026 and set a decision deadline for 29 June 2026. The council’s planning committee reviewed the plans and, on 18 June 2026, issued a conditional decision (decision code: CONDITIONAL). While the approval allows the works to proceed, it is subject to any conditions that may be imposed by the council at the time of finalisation.

The application file, reference number 2660796, details the scope of the demolition and construction work. The new extension will provide additional living space for the occupants while maintaining the overall character of the existing house. Site works will include necessary foundations, drainage arrangements and any required alterations to utilities to accommodate the new structure.

Residents in Ballybofey can view the full planning file on the Donegal County Council website or by contacting the council’s planning department. The decision reflects the council’s ongoing review of residential development proposals within the Lifford area, ensuring that changes meet local planning policies and community standards.
