Retention of attic conversion and elevation alterations to existing dwelling

A planning application has been submitted to Leitrim County Council seeking to regularise work already completed at a residential property in Tullaghan. Jim and Edel Gallagher are requesting retention permission for an attic conversion and related alterations to the external elevations of their home at Corbeg in the village.

The attic conversion has already been undertaken and this application formalises the existing work. The converted attic space measures 85.38 square metres, with the overall site covering 0.310 hectares. The retention permission process allows homeowners to seek approval for building works that have been carried out without the necessary planning consent beforehand, providing an opportunity to bring the property into compliance with planning regulations.

The application is now before the local authority for consideration. Retention applications of this nature are common where alterations have been made to dwellings without prior approval, and they allow councils to assess whether the completed works meet current planning standards and building regulations.

Further details on this planning application can be found through Leitrim County Council's planning portal.
