Planning permission granted for 26 caravan pitches in Bundoran

Donegal County Council has approved planning permission for a new caravan and campervan site comprising 26 pitches and a shower block in Bundoran.

The permission was granted to Patrick Heaney for the proposed development at Magheracar, which also includes the retention of existing domestic sheds pending their removal after the site is completed.

Heaney’s original application sought approval for 41 pitches, but the council approved a reduced number of 26. The application documents highlighted an “urgent need” for a serviced site for tourist campervans and touring caravans, a demand that has been noted in the media over recent years.

The council’s decision aims to address the seasonal appeals for additional tourist accommodation, with the expectation that the new facility will help meet the growing visitor demand in Bundoran.
