Replacement of 3no. signs and all associated site development works. Sign 1 (4.2m x 0.4m)

Dalata Hotel Group plc has applied to Sligo County Council for permission to replace three signs at its Clayton Hotel site on Clarion Road, Ballytivnan, Ballinode, Co. Sligo. The application, received on 31 March 2026, seeks to replace two low‑level wall‑mounted illuminated signs – one measuring 4.2 m by 0.4 m on the left side of the main entrance and a second of the same size on the right side – together with a non‑illuminated triangular totem sign measuring 1.4 m by 3.5 m at the main site entrance. The council has issued a conditional decision on 19 May 2026, with the decision due on 25 May 2026.

The Clayton Hotel is part of Dalata’s portfolio of 56 hotels operating under the Maldron and Clayton brands, most of which are located in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Dalata, which was acquired by a Scandinavian consortium in November 2025, has been undergoing a restructuring process that separates its property business from its hotel operations. The sign replacement is part of the broader site development works associated with the hotel’s ongoing refurbishment.

The conditional nature of the decision means that Dalata must satisfy any conditions set by the council before the signs can be installed. The council’s decision reflects the need to ensure that the new signage complies with local planning and visual amenity standards.

The application is part of Dalata’s efforts to maintain and enhance the visual presence of its properties across the region. The council’s decision will be monitored closely by the hotel group as it moves forward with the replacement works.
