Planning sought for 99-unit ‘attractive new neighbourhood in Bundoran’

Planning permission has been sought from Donegal County Council for a major Bundoran residential development that includes 99 dwellings.

The listed applicant, McEniffs (Bundoran) Ltd, has applied for the development at Dinglei Coush, located around 500 metres from the western side of Bundoran’s town centre. The application includes 10 two-bed terraced houses, 44 three-bed semi-detached and end-of-terrace houses, three four-bed semi-detached and end-of-terrace houses, and four four-bed detached bungalow dwellings.

Also included in the application was the construction of a new creche facility with associated outdoor play area, and ancillary structures such as ESB substations, associated switch rooms, bicycle and bin stores.

Provision of new estate roads, parking, footpaths, public open space, private open space, site landscaping, public lighting, a pumping station, foul and surface water drainage together with all associated site works including removal of existing polytunnel is included in the submitted application.

The planned properties are proposed to be accessed from Dartry Court, Ben Bulben View and Ellesmere Court.

Support documents from Rhatigan Architects, on behalf of McEniffs (Bundoran) Ltd, stated: “The proposed units in this scheme have been designed to have generous living areas, storage and spacious private open spaces.

“This allows for a variety of methods that can be employed for their adaptation. With generous garden sizes, all units can expand to the rear or side depending on the plot.”

It was concluded that the proposal would “create a high-quality, sustainable and attractive new neighbourhood for Bundoran, contributing positively to the town’s continued growth in a manner that is compact, well-connected, and responsive to its context.”

Donegal County Council has yet to announce a decision due date for the submitted planning application.
