PLANS have been lodged with Donegal County Council regarding proposals to build a five-storey 32 bedroom student accommodation block near the centre of Letterkenny.
The side of the proposed development is off the road beside An Grianán Theatre which leads up to the Regional Cultural Centre.
The small site is directly behind the Four Lanterns premises on the Port Road.
According to the documentation supplied to the council, the building would have a blackened larch timber cladding on the exterior and a metal roof.
There would also be various coloured cement panels and triple glazing.
There is provision for one disabled parking bay, plus 32 bike bays and a bin store behind fencing.
The applicant is M & B Kelly, with a registered address in Mountcharles.
A pre-application consultation with the local authority has already taken place in relation to the proposed development.
The deadline for any submissions regarding the plans is Sunday, December 8.
According to Donegal Co. Council, a decision on the project is due on January 7, 2025.
