Office and storage converted to two 1-bed apartments, rear extension added, front elevation altered

In Athlone, Westmeath, the upper two floors of a Church Street building have been transformed from office and storage space into two one‑bedroom apartments. The conversion, carried out by Daniel Bolos‑Ciocan, also saw a rear extension added to the first floor, alterations to the front elevation and a range of internal changes. Because the building is listed as a protected structure, the work required formal planning approval from Westmeath County Council. The council has now formally approved the conversion, the rear extension and the front‑of‑building changes. The decision follows a detailed application that outlined how the new apartments would fit within the historic fabric of the property while providing modern living accommodation. The approval allows the developer to proceed with the refurbishment, ensuring that the building’s heritage features are preserved. The council’s decision was published in the county’s planning register and is now available for public inspection. For more details see the Westmeath County Council planning documents.
