Why this application matters

Mixed-use commercial scheme

The Dunlo, Ballinasloe proposal combines a single-storey drive-thru restaurant with two two-storey office buildings, creating a commercial development with food-service and workspace uses on one site.

Access and active travel works

The scheme provides two vehicular entrances from Harbour Road, pedestrian links to Harbour Road and Dunlo Quay Road, and a road setback for a cycle lane along Dunlo Quay Road (L-4602). Parking includes EV charging spaces and covered bicycle parking.

Servicing and site infrastructure

Works include demolition of a derelict dwelling and shed, on-site surface-water attenuation, culverting of an existing drainage channel, connections to public water, foul and storm networks, and below-ground static water storage. Roof-level PV panels, ESB substations, landscaping, lighting and internal pedestrian routes are also proposed.

Earlier site submission

An earlier permission submission for the same Dunlo site set out the same core redevelopment: demolition, a drive-thru restaurant, two office buildings, Harbour Road access, cycle-lane setback, drainage works and public-service connections.
