(1) RETENTION OF KITCHEN EXTENSION TO SIDE ELEVATION AND DETACHED DOMESTIC GARAGE AND

A planning application has been submitted to Donegal County Council for works at a property in Dunmuckrum, Ballyshannon. Oisin and Mary Brennan are seeking retention permission for a kitchen extension built on the side elevation of the house, along with a detached domestic garage and fuel store already constructed on the site.

The application also includes proposals to demolish the existing entrance porch and replace it with a new entrance lobby. Additionally, the applicants are seeking approval for minor widening of the vehicular entrance to improve access and egress to the property, with associated site development works to follow.

Retention applications are typically submitted when structures have already been built without prior planning permission, with the local authority then deciding whether to formally approve them. The scope of works at the Dunmuckrum property suggests a comprehensive upgrade to both the residential amenity and accessibility of the dwelling.

The application is being assessed by Donegal County Council's planning department.
