Home extension and upgrade with partial demolition of rear extension

Bridie Coleman of Ballymacredmond in Ballina has received planning permission from Mayo County Council to carry out a series of changes to her property. The approved scheme involves extending the existing house and partially demolishing a rear extension that had been added previously. In addition to the structural alterations, the plan includes an upgrade to the on‑site wastewater treatment system to bring it up to current standards.

The council’s decision, announced in a recent planning brief, confirms that the proposed works will comply with local development guidelines and environmental requirements. The partial demolition is intended to remove the older rear extension, allowing for a more cohesive design and improved energy efficiency in the new extension. The wastewater upgrade is aimed at ensuring the property’s drainage and treatment facilities meet the latest health and safety regulations.

Residents of Ballymacredmond have expressed support for the project, noting that the improvements will enhance the property’s value and contribute to the overall quality of the neighbourhood. The council has also highlighted that the works will be carried out by licensed contractors and will include necessary inspections at various stages of construction.

The planning approval is part of the council’s ongoing efforts to manage residential development responsibly while safeguarding local infrastructure. For more details see the Mayo County Council planning documents.
