Of existing extension to rear of original building (A Protected Structure -RPS No. 264)

A planning application has been lodged with Galway County Council for works to a protected structure in Athenry. Lisa and Keith Coulter are seeking permission to retain an existing extension to the rear of the original building, which is recorded on the Council's register of protected structures as RPS No. 264.

The proposal also includes a number of alterations to the main building itself. These comprise the removal of a non-original chimney, replacement of non-original roof coverings and rainwater goods, and replacement of non-original windows. The applicants also intend to install two conservation roof-lights as part of the scheme. Additionally, an existing garage on the property is to be retained.

The application includes internal modifications, though full details of these works were not specified in the initial documentation. Given the protected status of the structure, any approved works will need to be carried out in accordance with conservation principles to preserve the character and integrity of the building.

The full details of the application can be viewed through Galway County Council's planning portal.
