The development is set to consist of a 3-storey mixed-use building comprising of 72 rooms, hostel reception, café, staff facilities, admin office, linen store, toilets, and service areas including bin and bike storage.
The application also includes three retail units with direct access to the street, an ESB substation and switch room accessed from Flynn's field. The development includes all ancillary hostel facilities, and is designed to accommodate up to 244 guests. Leitrim County Planners gave the project the green light this week with 24 conditions attached.
