Planning permission is being sought for a major renovation of one of Longford’s most historic buildings.
The Cloghan Corn Mill in Abbeyshrule was built in the 1860s approximatley and consists of a three-storey and two-storey building.
Longford County Council has received an application to develop a tourist attraction as well as guest accommodation at the imposing south Longford landmark.
Phase one of the project would involve works at the Kiln House to develop four bedrooms and nine parking spaces.
Phase two works would see a linked bridge being built on the first floor to connect the two structures as well as the reinstatement of the mill wheel and gearing.
It's also proposed to develop a museum or coffee shop and six bedrooms on the upper floors.
The application has been lodged by Declan Keegan and is currently in pre-validation.
A decision is due from the Council by the 30th of June.
