A planning application has been submitted to Leitrim County Council for the construction of 19 houses at Mac Oisin Place in Dromod.
Dromod village could see the development of 19 new homes, pending planning approval.
An application was submitted to Leitrim County Council on March 6, proposing the construction of a total of 19 residential units at Mac Oisin Place, Drumod Beg.
The proposed development includes eight three-bedroom, two-storey, semi detached houses; ten four-bedroom two-storey semi detached houses; and one four-bedroom, single storey, detached house.
