Planning sought for three new homes in Leitrim town

Main Street, Carrigallen

Planning permission has been sought for a new residential development in Carrigallen. The application, submitted to Leitrim County Council on April 12,proposes the construction of two apartments and the renovation of a derelict two-storey building, delivering a total of three residential units to the village.

The development is proposed for a site to the rear of Kilbracken House on Main Street, a protected structure of historical significance.

As part of the proposal, the existing derelict two-storey house would undergo significant renovation, including the replacement of its roof, the raising of the wall plate level, and the construction of a new roof structure.

In addition, the application includes the demolition of existing outbuildings and sheds to make way for a new two-storey building comprising two one-bedroom apartments - one on the ground floor and another on the first floor. A single-storey storage is also proposed to support the development.
