(1) DEMOLITION OF EXISTING GARAGE AND (2) REFURBISHMENT

Owen McFadden has lodged a planning application in Letterkenny for the demolition of an existing garage and a refurbishment scheme that includes the construction of an extension and alterations to his dwelling at Carrowcannon, Falcarragh, Letterkenny PO, Co Donegal. The proposal also covers all associated site works required to carry out the changes.

The application was received by Donegal County Council on 23 April 2026. A decision is due on 17 June 2026 and the council recorded a conditional decision on 5 June 2026, indicating that any approval will be subject to conditions set by the authority. The item has been entered into the council’s public planning list for the area.

Letterkenny has seen several similar proposals in recent months. For example, Andrew & Michaela McFadden applied for an extension and alterations at Devlinreagh, Carrigart, while Mark Clérkin sought to decommission a septic tank and install a replacement system at Crocknageerah, Dungloe. These applications illustrate the active planning activity within the county town as residents seek to adapt existing properties.

The conditional status of Mr McFadden’s application means that any approval will require compliance with conditions imposed by the council. While the specific conditions are not detailed in the public notice, they typically cover matters such as building standards, environmental impact and site layout. The applicant will need to address these before final consent can be granted.

For further information on this planning proposal, see Donegal County Council’s planning file 2660710.
