Donegal County Council has partnered with Rathmullan- The Way Forward CLG to present public consultation draft proposals for the Rathmullan Heritage Led Regeneration Project.
The project is rooted in the principles of heritage restoration, town centre renewal and rural regeneration, in proposing the transformation of landmarks and under-utilised assets at the historic core of Rathmullan.
The draft design proposals have been prepared by the award winning design consultancy service Robin Lee Architecture and subconsultants.
Specifically, the project and draft designs focus on two of the key built heritage assets in Rathmullan: the Napoleonic Gun Battery and Rathmullan Abbey, both of which are protected structures. It is intended to celebrate these assets as heritage bookends to a refined heritage led public realm where social purpose, economic function and sense of place are firmly re-established.
The project will also include the development of a community hub as a unique and flexible space with flexible digital capacities for the community, business and remote working.
The public consultation will run from the 2nd to the 16th of June.
The draft designs may be viewed from the 2nd of June in one of the following ways: At a public information event from 3pm-8pm on the 2nd of June at St. Vincent de Paul Centre, Rathmullan or online at: www.donegalcoco.ie/services/planning/regenerationprojects/
