Existing dwelling and shed demolished, new slatted shed built

Michael Andrew Mc Walter has obtained planning permission from Galway County Council to demolish an existing house and shed on the Lissavally site in Tuam and replace them with a new slatted shed. The decision, granted on 30 April 2026, includes the construction of concrete aprons and other site works required for the new structure. The permission was issued with conditions that the applicant must comply with, although the specific conditions were not detailed in the council’s release. The new shed will be a slatted design, intended to provide storage or other utility space on the property. The demolition of the existing dwelling and shed will precede the construction of the new shed, which will be built to meet the council’s planning and safety standards. The project is part of the council’s ongoing review of development proposals in the Tuam area. The planning department noted that the applicant must ensure that the demolition and construction work complies with all relevant building regulations. The council's decision reflects its commitment to managing development in the Tuam area. The applicant, Michael Andrew Mc Walter, is responsible for ensuring that all works are carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in the planning permission.
