The former Garda station in Glencolmcille
Planning permission has been sought to turn the former Garda station in Glencolmcille into a house.
The station, at Gannew, Glencolmcille, closed in 2013.
The two-storey property was sold in 2023 having been put on the market through Henry Kee & Sons with a price tag of €195,000.
Catherine Cull has submitted a planning application to Donegal County Council in respect of the property.
She is seeking permission for a change of use from the former Garda station and married quarters to a private dwelling house, including minor revisions to the side elevation and all associated site development works.
