Renovation of two homes and demolition/rebuild of a third, all with rear extensions

Three houses on Mount Carmel Road in Loughrea are set for a major overhaul under a planning permission granted by Galway County Council. Numbers 2 and 3 will undergo extensive renovations, each receiving a single‑storey rear extension to increase living space. The third property, number 4, will be demolished and replaced with a new dwelling, which will also feature a rear extension. The council’s planning officer, Seamus Eignor, has approved the proposals, which aim to modernise the terrace while maintaining the street’s character. Residents of the block will experience a period of construction, but the new extensions are expected to provide additional rooms and improved amenities. The work is part of a broader effort to upgrade housing stock in the area, with the council emphasising the importance of sustainable design and compliance with local planning guidelines. The project will be carried out by licensed builders under the supervision of the council’s planning department. For more details, see the Galway County Council planning documents.
