Retain house alterations and convert porch to living space

Mark O’Sullivan has received a conditional decision from Leitrim County Council to retain the alterations he has already carried out on his house at Greaghnafarna, Ballinaglera. The council’s decision, recorded under file reference 2660100, was made on 2 June 2026 following an application lodged on 16 April 2026.

The applicant’s plans involve a number of changes to the existing dwelling. First, the front and northern side façades of the house have been altered, with ancillary works carried out to support the modifications. Second, the existing front porch has been converted into a habitable living space, effectively extending the interior footprint of the property. Finally, a new porch has been constructed on the southern side of the building, providing additional outdoor access.

The council’s decision is conditional, meaning that the applicant must comply with any conditions set out in the decision before the alterations can be fully approved. The decision was issued by the planning authority of Leitrim County Council, which oversees development applications within the county.

The property is situated at Greaghnafarna, Ballinaglera, Co Leitrim, N41 TY76. The decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, and the council’s official decision date is 2 June 2026, with the decision due date having been 10 June 2026. The application was reviewed under the council’s planning framework, which requires that any changes to existing structures meet local planning regulations and standards.

The outcome allows Mr O’Sullivan to retain the changes he has already made, subject to the council’s conditions. Residents of Ballinaglera can expect the alterations to remain in place once the conditions are satisfied. For more details, see the Leitrim County Council planning file 2660100.
