Fresh plans for apartments at former Donegal Town pottery workshop

The site in question at Upper Main Street, Donegal Town

A new planning permission application has been submitted for a derelict pottery workshop in Donegal Town.

Stylo Estates Ltd have sought permission for the demolition of the existing building, at Upper Main Street, Donegal Town.

The company is seeking permission to erect an apartment block. The proposed building would consist of six two-bedroom apartments over three floors.

The application provides for connection to the existing public services and all the associated site works.

Donegal County Council are expected to make a decision by March 12.

Previously, the site was subject to other applications.

In 2006, permission was granted, subject to 18 conditions, for six apartments, but works did not proceed.

A year earlier, plans to construct two buildings and a total of 11 apartments were met with some objections to An Bord Pleanala, who refused permission on the grounds of overdevelopment.
