(1) RETENTION OF (A) HARD AND SOFT LANDSCAPING WORKS AROUND EXISTING HOUSE

A planning application has been lodged with Donegal County Council for retention of various works at a residential property in Donegal Town. Seamus McGowan is seeking permission for hard and soft landscaping around an existing house, along with associated drainage infrastructure connected to the public combined sewer system.

The proposal also includes site excavation works and the construction of a tiered retaining wall structure with guard rail along the shoreline. According to the application, a garden store would be integrated into the retaining wall structure as part of the development. Additional works mentioned in the submission relate to interior additions to the dwelling itself.

The retention element of the application suggests that some of these works may already have been undertaken on the property, with the applicant now seeking formal planning permission to regularise the position with the local authority.

The application is currently being processed by Donegal County Council's planning department.

Further details on this application can be found through Donegal County Council's planning portal.
