Two-storey house, garage and wastewater treatment system approved with revised siting

Planning permission has been granted for a residential development at Killaphort, Garadice, in the Ballinamore area of County Leitrim. Claire Rowley and Rory Mc Tague will be able to proceed with construction of a two-storey house, detached garage, and wastewater treatment system on the site.

Leitrim County Council initially sought modifications to the proposed location, requesting that the dwelling be positioned closer to the public road. The original design had proposed a setback of 95 metres from the road, but the council required this to be reduced to 50 metres to minimise visual impact on the surrounding landscape. A site characterisation assessment was carried out to inform the revised positioning of the structure.

The development has now received conditional approval from the council, allowing the applicants to move forward with construction. A new site entrance will also form part of the approved scheme.

For full details of this planning decision, the Leitrim County Council planning register should be consulted.
