A decision on plans for Boyle's historic post office have been delayed.
Aaron Sharkey's proposal includes eight bedrooms, a takeaway coffee facility and other works.
A decision on the development was due this week, however Roscommon County Council has sought further information on the project.
The development would see the protected structure on Shop Street refurbished and repurposed as an eight-bedroom hostel, complete with communal facilities for guests and an associated takeaway coffee outlet.
The plans also include the demolition of an existing shed and the conversion of an outbuilding into storage space for the hostel.
However, planners have raised a number of concerns requiring clarification.
Chief among them is the proposed removal of a masonry wall on the second floor of the building.
The council is seeking a detailed structural survey from a qualified engineer to demonstrate that the works would not affect the stability of the roof or wider building structure.
The authority has also requested revised plans showing appropriate staff toilet and wash-hand facilities for employees of the proposed coffee shop, following consultation with the Health Service Executive.
Developers have additionally been asked to provide a construction and demolition waste management plan and to outline how any asbestos discovered during the project would be safely handled and disposed of.
No final decision will be made until the requested information has been submitted and assessed by the council.
