Reinstatement works and rear extension to protected 19th-century townhouse

Laura Patton has secured conditional planning permission from Leitrim County Council for restoration and expansion works at a heritage townhouse in Manorhamilton. The project involves reinstatement and completion of the dwelling at 18 Castle Street, along with a rear extension to the structure.

The property is recorded on the council's register of protected structures as RPS No. 43 and dates from approximately 1890, when it was constructed as part of a terrace of six houses. Given its protected status, the restoration work must adhere to specific conservation standards.

The permitted works include roof repairs that will utilise salvaged blue Bangor slates to maintain the building's historical character. The scheme also provides for reinstatement of timber sash windows, ensuring the nineteenth-century features are properly restored in keeping with the structure's architectural heritage.

The conditional nature of the permission means certain requirements and standards will apply to how the works are carried out to protect the integrity of the protected structure. The project represents an investment in preserving one of Manorhamilton's notable Victorian properties.

Further details can be found via Leitrim County Council's planning records.
