Gearoid Leonard has lodged a planning application with Galway County Council seeking permission to transfer the enurement clause condition No. 2 of Planning Reference No. 20/447 from a family member to the applicant. The application also requests approval for a side extension that would provide essential wheelchair‑accessible living facilities, a sensory and physiotherapy room, and the retention of alterations to the site entrance. Leonard further seeks to retain a garden storage shed and all associated services.

The proposed side extension is intended to enhance accessibility for residents requiring wheelchair access and to include dedicated spaces for sensory and physiotherapy activities. The applicant wishes to keep the existing entrance modifications and the garden shed, arguing that these features are integral to the property’s functionality and current use.

The application is currently under review by the council’s planning committee. No decision has yet been made, and the applicant has not indicated a preferred timeline for completion. The request is part of the council’s ongoing review of planning references in County Galway, and it will be considered alongside other applications in the area.

For further details on the application and the council’s decision process, see the Galway County Council planning portal.
