Green light for work to start on glamping site in Carrick

Work will get underway on a glamping site on Teelin Road in Carrick as early as next week.

Planning permission has been granted for the site following a successful appeal to An Bord Pleanála, having been refused by Donegal Council Council in October of last year. However, developer Phelim McGill subsequently appealed to decision to An Bord Pleanála, who granted permission earlier this week.

Mr McGill plans to construct five glamping pods, service building and car parking area at Carrick Upper, Carrick. The development will also include connection to all existing site services including public sewer mains and water connection and all associated site development works.

Council planners initially refused the application saying the proposed site was too far from Carrick village, and wasn’t serviced by a footpath which would subsequently create a traffic hazard.
