Planning lodged to completely transform Scotsman’s Bar in Donegal Town
Plans lodged with Donegal County Council include a café and retail shop
A planning application has been submitted which, if successful, would see the Scotsman’s Bar in Donegal Town completely transformed into a retail shop, café and apartments.
The application was made by Michael John Gavigan for the Bridge Street premises which has been closed for some time, having briefly reopened in 2019.
Details of the application are: “Change of use from licenced bar / lounge to retail shop and coffee shop at ground floor level and provision of skylights and roof lights at roof level and external terrace to the rear elevation.
It also includes change of use of first and second floor living accommodation to two one-bedroom apartments, as well as the construction of a flat roof extension to the rear at first and second floor levels to provide a stairwell and balconies to the apartments.
Elevation changes and provision of a new shopfront and entrance and all associated site development works are also included in the planning application.
