Planning Permission to 1. install 3.No. roof windows to the front of the existing

Trevor Goulden has lodged a planning application with Sligo County Council for a series of alterations to a dwelling at Knockadoo in the parish of Carrickbanagher, Co. Sligo. The proposal, currently in the pre‑validation stage, seeks permission to install three roof windows on the front elevation of the existing house. In addition, the applicant wishes to retain an increased roof height that has already been added to the structure, as well as a first‑floor level that has been incorporated into the building.

The application also covers a range of other changes. Goulden proposes to keep the elevational modifications that have been made to the front of the house, and to preserve a single‑storey and a two‑storey extension that have been constructed at the rear of the dwelling. These extensions are part of the overall development plan for the site, which also includes an upgrade to the existing vehicular access. Ancillary works and services on the site are to be upgraded in line with the proposed changes.

The planning file, reference 2660188, lists the site address as Knockadoo, Carrickbanagher, Co. Sligo, and indicates that the application was received on 26 February 2024. As the application is still in pre‑validation, the council has not yet made a decision on the proposals. The applicant has not yet received any formal response, and the status remains pending.

The proposed alterations are aimed at improving natural light and ventilation within the dwelling, while also enhancing the overall appearance of the property. The extensions at the rear of the house are intended to provide additional living space, and the upgraded vehicular access is expected to improve safety and convenience for residents and visitors.

Local residents and stakeholders will be able to view the application details on the council’s planning portal. The council will consider the application against the relevant planning policies and any objections that may be raised by the community. The outcome of the pre‑validation process will determine whether the applicant can proceed to the full planning application stage.
