Roof replacement, new dormer room, window alterations and pebbledash removal

Ellen McCabe of Mullies in Manorhamilton has been granted conditional planning permission by Leitrim County Council to carry out a substantial refurbishment of her dwelling. The council’s decision, issued on 20 May 2026, allows the demolition of the existing roof and the construction of a new roof, together with a new dormer room. The works also include alterations to the existing windows and the removal of the pebbledash cladding that currently surrounds the house.

The proposed changes will preserve the building’s three‑bedroom layout. Two bedrooms will remain on the ground floor, while a new master bedroom and an attached bathroom are to be added to the first floor, providing additional living space. The council’s file (reference 2660055) lists the demolition of the roof, construction of the dormer, window alterations, pebbledash removal, and new roof construction as the key components of the project.

The application was received on 27 February 2026, with a decision deadline of 24 May 2026. The council’s conditional approval means that the works must be carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in the decision, which are not detailed in the summary. The project is expected to enhance the interior space of the home while maintaining its external appearance in line with local planning guidelines.
