Planning application received: for change of use from offices to Bed & Breakfast accommodation comprising 9 no. guest bedrooms with

A planning application has been lodged with Galway County Council by Ronan Loughney for a change of use at The Church House on Main Street in Moycullen. The applicant seeks permission to convert the building, which has previously been used as offices, into a bed and breakfast accommodation. The proposed B&B would contain nine guest bedrooms, allowing the property to serve as a small hospitality venue for visitors to the area.

The application was submitted to the council’s planning department and is now awaiting assessment. No decision has yet been announced, and the application remains in the review stage. The applicant has not indicated any specific timeline for completion, and the council has not released any conditions or requirements at this time.

The Church House is a local landmark in Moycullen, and the proposed conversion would add a new tourism option to the town’s amenities. The change of use would involve internal reconfiguration of the existing office space to create the required bedroom accommodation, but the application does not detail any external alterations or extensions.

The application is part of the council’s ongoing review of planning proposals across County Galway, and it will be considered alongside other submissions for changes of use and new developments in the region. Local residents and visitors will be able to follow the progress of the application through the council’s public planning portal.
