Retention of two houses in the Ashlawn, Ballyraine, Letterkenny area was sought
Donegal County Council have denied a planning application seeking to turn two residential homes into one large commercial guesthouse, saying it would have a 'detrimental impact' on the area.
The application, submitted by MCT Efficient Developments Ltd located in Tyrone, sought to retain two houses in the Ashlawn, Ballyraine, Letterkenny area and further construct a 9-bedroom guesthouse for short-term holiday lettings and allow connection to all existing services and associated site works.
An objection to the build by three members of the locality said: "This would become a commercial property which is inappropriate as the building is situated in the midst of a residential area."
