Planning sought for new B&B in Mullingar town centre

Planning permission is being sought for a new bed and breakfast in the centre of Mullingar.

County Monaghan based firm BFJ Developments plans to transform St Kevin's, an impressive two storey 19th century building on Bishop Gate's Street that most recently has been used as offices, into self-catering tourist accommodation.

The application includes details for the development of nine en-suite bedrooms over two floors, two kitchen/dining areas and a living area. Permission is also being sought for a fire escape stair, as well retention permission for the removal of pebbledash and the reinstatement of the original blockwork finish to the protected structure's facade.

The decision due date for the application is February 7.
