Longford nursing home receives planning approval for extension
Laurel Lodge Nursing Home have been granted permission from Longford County Council for an expansion of the facilities at Templemichael Glebe, Longford.
Laurel Lodge is a purpose built nursing home set out over three separate inter-linked units.
The design of the home is such that it supports a comfortable and modern ‘home like’ environment with ‘top of the range’ facilities and modern equipment.
Their August application to Longford County Council planners sought permission for four small extensions to the existing nursing home, two to the south, one to the south-east and one to an internal courtyard of the existing nursing home.
The approved application also grants retention permission for a shipping container positioned to the south of the existing building and being used as a laundry.
Retention permission covering revisions to the internal layout of three further small areas of the existing nursing home is part of the application, while retention permission is also sought for all site works associated with the developments.
The Longford town based facility provides long term and short-term care to 114 residents. The application was approved by the local authority planners subject to eight conditions.
