Permission to Construct a dwelling house

Ballindoon Townland, Co Sligo – Walter Frazer and Claire Conlon have applied to Sligo County Council for permission to construct a dwelling house on their property. Their proposal also includes a domestic garage, an entrance accessed via a new boundary wall and the installation of an on‑site wastewater treatment and disposal system.

The application was received by the council on 30 April 2026. A conditional decision was issued on 23 June 2026, just one day before the deadline for final approval set for 24 June. The council’s notice confirms that the proposal is approved in principle but must satisfy a number of conditions before construction can begin.

The dwelling house will be built to the existing site boundaries and will feature a single storey. A domestic garage will adjoin the house, with an entrance accessed through a new boundary wall. The developers have also proposed installing an on‑site wastewater treatment system to manage sewage generated by the property, in line with local planning requirements.

This application is part of a broader pattern of development activity within Sligo County. Recent council decisions include the construction of a slatted shed and silage base at Gortygara, Gurteen; changes to use of vacant commercial units on the ground floor of the Print House in Market Place, Sligo; partial demolition works on Holywell Road, Tonaphubble; and the retention of two additional dormer windows on the rear of Ballincar. These projects illustrate the council’s ongoing role in managing development across the county.

The conditional nature of the decision means that Frazer and Conlon must meet all specified conditions before any building work can commence. The developers are expected to submit any required documentation and comply with the council’s requirements within the stipulated timeframe.
