🏒➑️🏑 Commercial-to-Residential Exemption Granted - Ballybunion, Co. Kerry

Another Article 106A Exemption secured for the conversion of an existing commercial building to residential use in the heart of Ballybunion, Co. Kerry - a complex project for a returning client.

Working closely with Kerry County Council, we carefully worked through the requirements of the exemption to ensure the proposal maintained the character of the existing building while meeting the requirements for two new apartments, including exceeding the target space requirements across all rooms and amenity spaces - meeting and surpassing the relevant regulatory standards.

Achieving these standards within an existing commercial building presented its challenges but through careful design, planning and collaboration with the local authority, we were delighted to get this one over the line.

The approval now provides an opportunity to bring additional accommodation back into use in the heart of Ballybunion, making better use of an existing building and contributing to the town’s vibrancy once again.
