Retention of the following: Construction of 2nr additional dormer windows on the rear

Kevin and Susan Scanlon have lodged a planning application with Sligo County Council for alterations to their property in Ballincar, Co. Sligo (postcode F91K455). The proposal seeks permission to construct two additional dormer windows on the rear of the house, specifically on the northern elevation. In addition, one existing dormer window is to be omitted and replaced with a roof‑in‑lieu window at the same location.

The application also covers changes to fenestrations on the side and rear elevations as they are currently built. The front porch roof will be altered from its present hip design to an ‘A’ roof, and the hip of the rear roof will likewise be converted to an ‘A’ roof style. Two further roof windows are proposed for the eastern and western planes of the rear roof structure; these would serve a stairwell or landing area.

An extension to the rear of the existing kitchen is included in the plans. This addition would create a new link corridor connecting the kitchen to the hallway, and it would provide a new rear porch entrance at basement level on the northern elevation.

The application also requests permission for a new on‑site PET system with a percolation area to replace the current foul water discharge system. The proposal includes reconnection to existing site services and all associated development works deemed necessary by the council.

The Scanlons’ plans are currently under consideration by Sligo County Council’s planning department. No decision has yet been made, and the application remains pending approval.
