Planning sought to repurpose vacant office in Ballybay

Planning permission is being sought to convert a vacant office in Ballybay to a Chapel of Rest.

The change of use would affect an office that "has been vacant for a number of years" on Main Street in the town.

The planning application says it would bring a vacant property in the "heart of the town centre of Ballybay" back into active use.

A decision is expected in early September.
