Decision on apartments at former Windmill Bar in Dundalk appealed
Louth County Council’s decision to grant planning permission for apartments at the former Windmill Bar & Restaurant in Dundalk has been appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála
The decision by Louth County Council to grant planning permission for 13 apartments at the former Windmill Bar & Restaurant in Dundalk has been appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
Flood Francis Developments Limited applied for planning permission in May 2025 for the change of use of the former Windmill Bar & Restaurant at Seatown Place, Dundalk to residential use.
The developer sought the go ahead for alterations to the current structure to provide three two-bedroom apartments and 11 one-bedroom apartments.
The planning application provided for all associated site development works including; the retention and conservation of the historic elements of the facade of the Windmill Bar, landscaped communal open space, secure bicycle storage, bin storage, boundary treatments and all associated site strip and excavation works above and below ground.
Significant Further Information received by Louth County Council in April 2026 saw a reduction in the number of proposed apartments to 13.
Louth County Council granted planning permission for the development on 19 June, subject to 16 planning conditions.
A third party appeal was lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanála against the decision by the Windmill Court Residents Association on 6 July.
It is not yet known when the case will be heard,
