Retention Permission for 1) The installation of 2 No. rooflights to the front elevation

Philip O’Brien has applied to Sligo County Council for retention permission to install two rooflights on the front elevation of his existing house and to retain a block‑plastered wall, including wing walls and piers, along the front boundary of his property at Carrowkeel Terrace in Ballydrehid, Co. Sligo (F91 X0F1). The application was submitted on 12 May 2026 and was decided on 30 June 2026 with a conditional permission granted under decision code CONDITIONAL.

The council’s planning file (reference 2660179) records the request as a new application for retention permission. The decision, made on 30 June 2026, indicates that O’Brien will be required to comply with any conditions set by the council before the works can proceed. While the council had originally scheduled a decision date of 6 July 2026, it issued its ruling earlier, confirming that the applicant has been granted permission subject to meeting the stipulated conditions.

The application is part of ongoing planning activity in the Sligo County Council area. Other recent applications include requests for full planning permission by St. Michaels GAA Club at Kingsfort and a retention permission for an existing calf shed, as well as a planning permission to demolish a structure on Killoran North Coolaney.

The decision reflects the council’s routine assessment of individual property modifications within its jurisdiction. The conditional nature of the approval means that O’Brien must ensure all relevant building regulations and council conditions are satisfied before proceeding with the installation of the rooflights or the retention of the wall.
