Planning permission sought for three‑storey apartment block in Stranorlar

Planning permission has been applied for to build a three‑storey apartment block in the centre of Stranorlar.

Developer Shane McLaughlin has lodged plans for three two‑bedroom flats, to be constructed over three floors on a 0.3 hectare (0.74 acre) site located between Woodview Terrace on the main street and Railway Road. The proposal includes connection to existing public services and associated site‑development works.

PMC Architectural Services describe the design as a contemporary, flat‑roofed building, and an architect’s impression of the proposed block has been released.

Local Independent Councillor Martin Scanlon has provided a letter of support, noting the ongoing demand for additional housing in Stranorlar, Ballybofey and the wider Finn Valley, and the challenges faced by young people, workers, couples and smaller households seeking accommodation in the area.

County planners are scheduled to decide on the application by the end of December.
