Donegal County Council is set to move forward with plans to replace a vacant cottage in Laghy with a two-story apartment block.
The derelict cottage on Main Street will be demolished to make way for a two-storey apartment block containing two 2-bed apartments complete with a new vehicular entrance onto main street and an onsite parking area.
County Councillors gave their approval for the works at a plenary meeting in Lifford yesterday.
The works aim to address vacancy and redevelopment of the village in keeping with the Town Centre First Policy
The centrally located site is a Council-owned brownfield site. Members were told that the development provides an opportunity to address dereliction and vacancy and to regenerate the part of the village by the provision of high-quality and sustainable housing scheme under the Government’s Housing for All Plan.
