CONSTRUCTION OF 6 NO. DWELLING HOUSES (2 NO. SEMI-DETACHED DWELLING UNITS

CR RENAISSANCE PROPERTIES LTD has submitted a planning application to Donegal County Council for the construction of six dwelling houses on the Radharc an Oileáin site in Magheraclogher, Derrybeg, Letterkenny. The proposal includes two semi‑detached units, three terraced units and a detached group home, together with all associated site development works. The site will be accessed via the R257 road and will be served by the access road and services that were previously approved under planning reference 19/50721.

The application is currently in the pre‑validation stage. The council received the plans on 19 May 2026 and the decision is expected on 13 July 2026. The developer has indicated that the development will be carried out in accordance with the existing planning framework for the area and that the group home will provide accommodation for residents requiring specialised care.

The Radharc an Oileáin estate is situated in the north of Letterkenny, close to the town’s main transport links. The proposed dwellings would add a mix of housing types to the local area, including the group home which is intended to meet a specific community need. The developer has not yet submitted detailed design drawings, but the application references the earlier approval granted under the same planning reference for the site.

Donegal County Council will consider the application against the county’s planning policies and the local development plan. The council will also assess the impact on local infrastructure, including water, wastewater and surface water networks, as well as the provision of access roads and pedestrian facilities.

The application is part of a broader trend of residential development proposals in the county, with several other projects currently under review. The council’s planning department will publish any conditions or requests for further information as part of the decision process.

For full details of the application, including the supporting documents and the council’s decision timeline, see the Donegal County Council planning portal.
