A 60-minute fire resisting compartment wall is to be constructed as part of planning permission granted for a change of use of a vacant dining room to apartment accommodation in Kilmacrennan.
The stipulation is one of five conditions attached to planning permission for the new apartment living accommodation.
Applicant Denis Gorman lodged plans with Donegal County Council in January of this year seeking planning permission for the change of use of existing vacant dining room building, known locally as ‘Hill Top’ Restaurant, to a new apartment living accommodation.
The proposed plans also included connection to existing main public sewer.
The development has been granted the go-ahead in recent days, subject to five conditions.
The development is to be carried out strictly in accordance with lodged plans and details submitted on January 31, 2024.
Prior to the first occupation of the apartment granted, the wall separating the proposed apartment and the existing restaurant shall be constructed as a 60-minute fire resisting compartment wall.
The applicant (or person at the relevant time entitled to the benefit of the permission) shall pay a contribution in respect of public infrastructure and facilities benefiting development in the area of the Planning Authority that is already provided for or is intended will be provided by the Authority.
The amount of the contribution is €1, 534.60.
This total contribution shall be paid to the council prior to the commencement of the development unless the Council have agreed in writing beforehand to facilitate phased payment of the contributions in which event as part of any such agreement the council may require the giving of security to ensure payment.
