Moyfeigher, Ballivor, Co. Meath
Proposed development
The development will consist/consists of retention permission for an existing stone cottage located on land at Moyfeigher, Ballivor, County Meath. The structure, referred to as 'Lewis Cottage' and believed to date to circa 1820, was subject to a demolition condition under previous Planning Ref: TA171366, condition 2. The cottage is of vernacular architectural value and contributes to the cultural and historical heritage of the local area. Therefore I am also seeking permission for a change of use of this historic stone cottage, from its former domestic/agricultural function to a non-residential heritage-based use. The proposal involves converting the building into a small-scale heritage museum and environmental education space with a focus on local history and biodiversity
