Proposed Development
Development Description:
• Extension: Construction of a two/three-storey residential extension to the south side and rear of the existing dwelling, designed as a self-contained ancillary family unit, following the demolition of the existing ground-floor carport and first-floor terrace shed.
• Terrace Works: Replacement of the existing balustrade with a modern new glass balustrade on the first-floor terrace.
• Storage Room & Access Modifications: Replacement of the entrance and roof of the existing storage room along the northern boundary, together with the installation of a new external flight of stairs providing access to the existing first-floor terrace.
• Associated Site Works: All associated site development works, drainage modifications, and landscaping.
Context and Rationale:
The subject site at 12/13 Blake’s Hill accommodates the primary residence of the applicant. The primary objective of this application is to facilitate multi-generational living on site, enabling the applicants to downsize into the proposed self-contained ancillary family unit while transferring the main dwelling to their child and their family. This arrangement supports sustainable residential land use within Galway City while maintaining strong family ties to the existing property.
Development Address:
12/13 Blake's Hill, Knocknacarra, Galway, H91 EHK3
