The development will consist of partial demolition

Debora and Mark Walsh have submitted a development application to Sligo County Council for their property on Holywell Road in the village of Tonaphubble, Co Sligo. The proposal, reference number 2660172, seeks permission for partial demolition of part of the existing dwelling, followed by renovation and an extension to the house. In addition, the applicants intend to relocate the site entrance and carry out hard and soft landscaping together with all associated site works.

The application was received by the council on 6 May 2026. A decision was due by 30 June 2026, but the council issued a conditional approval on 24 June 2026. The decision code is listed as “CONDITIONAL” in the council’s planning register. No further details of the conditions are provided in the public record at this time.

The development sits within a residential area of Tonaphubble and will involve changes to the existing footprint of the dwelling. While the council has not yet published the full set of conditions, the conditional status indicates that certain requirements must be met before construction can commence. The applicants have indicated that they will undertake all necessary site works in line with local planning guidelines.

This application follows a series of other recent planning submissions in Sligo County, including proposals for new sheds and changes to commercial units elsewhere in the county. However, the council’s decision on the Walsh application is independent of those projects.

The council has not yet released any public consultation documents or detailed plans relating to the proposed works. Residents wishing to view the full application file can request it from Sligo County Council under the Freedom of Information Act.
