Liam Ó h'Oisín has applied to Galway County Council for permission to build a first‑floor extension over the existing fuel store at An Léim Thoir, Co Galway (H91 ECC4). The proposal would create a habitable space that connects with the current dwelling and includes alterations to the building’s elevations as well as all associated site works.

The application was submitted on 8 May 2026 and carries a decision code of CONDITIONAL. Council officials set a deadline for a final decision of 2 July 2026, but the matter was resolved earlier, with the council issuing its decision on 22 June 2026. The decision confirms that the proposed extension meets the necessary planning criteria under current local regulations.

The site is situated in the rural part of County Galway, and the applicant has indicated that the new space will be used for residential purposes, providing additional living area while maintaining a link to the existing structure. No further details on design or cost were disclosed in the council file.

This application follows a series of recent planning decisions across Co Galway, including approvals for new dwellings and agricultural sheds, reflecting ongoing development activity within the county. However, the focus here remains strictly on the individual extension at An Léim Thoir.

Readers can view the full council decision and supporting documents in the Galway County Council planning portal under reference 2660712.
