Extension plans at Cloghan hall

A planning application has been lodged for an extension to St Mary's Parochial Hall in Cloghan.

The premises, at Ferbane Street in Cloghan, is a listed building on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.

On Monday, May 25, the St Mary’s Parochial Hall committee lodged a planning application with Offaly County Council seeking approval for a "single-storey rear extension to the existing parochial hall, together with all associated site works, services connections, and ancillary works".

According to the application, the development at Saint Mary’s Parochial Hall is designed to “support its ongoing community use, and to ensure full compliance with conservation and development plan requirements".

The council is due to make its decision on the planning application by July 19.
