Section 140 motions withdrawn

DONEGAL County Councillors withdrew two Section 140 motions, tabled at this week's Council meeting, as there were not enough members present to vote them through.

The Material Contraventions of the County Development Plan sought to overturn the planning department's decision and grant permission for the erection of two houses, one in Letterkenny and the other in Gweedore.

Cllr Dessie Larkin formally withdrew the application to build a house at Knockbrack, Letterkenny, in the name of Sharon Rouse.

"Unfortunately, there is not enough people here to consider it and, therefore, I'm withdrawing it. It had been indicated to the applicants that they would be successful at a pre-planning meeting. Unfortunately however it fell between plans," Cllr Larkin said.

Cllr Brian O'Domhnaill, who withdrew the application, in the name of Damien Coll, to build a house at Magheraroarty, Gortahork, said he had the same "problems".
