Plans have been lodged for a major new development in Termon that will include glamping pods, campervan pitches and a mindfulness area.

Planning permission has been sought from Donegal County Council for the development at Barnes Upper, Termon.

Helen Vickery is seeking permission for the proposed development, which would include a mindfulness and wellness retreat garden that would consist of meditation, yoga, steam room, sauna pods and an outdoor ice bath area.

The development is described as a ‘tourism based initiative’ and would also include the construction of ten glamping pods.

Planning documents also provide for the construction of six stopover campervan pitches and the renovation, refurbishment and extension of an existing derelict stone building into a reception, laundry and toilet facility building.

Also included in the application is the installation of a wastewater treatment system and onsite car parking spaces as well as associated site works.

Donegal County Council say that a decision on the application is due by January 18, 2024.
