Green light for new houses on Main Street in Offaly town

Offaly County Council has given the green light for new houses to be built on Main Street in an Offaly town. 

Mark Feely sought permission for the development in Daingean from Offaly County Council.

The plans involve the demolition of the existing 'structurally unsafe' dwelling at the front of the site to be replaced by two, four bedroom dwelling units to match existing houses on the site.

Offaly County Council granted permission with 13 conditions attached.

Among the conditions are stipulations for the colour of slates to be used, design of windows and that all electrical, phone and television cables will be laid underground. 

The developer will also have to pay a development contribution of €4,010 to Offaly County Council
