Developers win permission to change Drumroosk Middle site plans
Donegal County Council has granted conditional planning permission to alter plans to a major housing development in Donegal Town.
Dublin-based Sayvale 26 Ltd are the listed applicant for the planned development between the Mill Race Crescent and Railway Park housing estates.
The granted application is to alter/modify the existing permitted three-storey building with eight residential units, to have instead the construction of a two-storey apartment block, with four two-bedroom ground floor apartments, and four two-bedroom first floor apartments, all with their own door access at the ground floor level, along with reconfiguration of the associated car parking.
A total of three conditions were put on the granted application by Donegal County Council, for reasons including preserving the amenities of the area and to cater for orderly development.

In February 2022, Donegal County Council then granted permission for significant alterations to the planned developments, including a change of housing types and a change from housing to apartments.
