Two-storey rear extension to existing dwelling with associated site works

Patrick and Amanda Byrne have lodged a planning application with Leitrim County Council for a two‑storey rear extension to their existing dwelling at Liscuillew Lower in Drumkeeran, Co Leitrim. The proposed extension would add 94 square metres of gross floor space to the current 119.2 square metres of the house, bringing the total to 213.2 square metres. The site occupies 0.179 hectares and the application also covers associated site development works, including the provision of two car parking spaces.

The application, submitted on 5 May 2026, is currently pending a decision. The council has issued a conditional decision code, indicating that the proposal is being considered under certain conditions. The owner of the property is John Joe Byrne, and the application is being handled by agent Mark Kelly. No protected structures, architectural conservation areas, monuments or environmental constraints have been identified as affecting the proposal.

The development will consist of a new two‑storey extension to the rear of the existing two‑storey dwelling, together with all associated site works. The council’s file indicates that the extension will not alter any protected features and that the design is compliant with local planning guidelines.

The application is part of a broader trend of residential development in the Drumkeeran area, although the council has not yet released a final decision. Residents and local stakeholders will be able to view the application details on the council’s website, where the full planning file is available for public consultation.
