Actress Saoirse Ronan is seeking permission to demolish and rebuild her
waterfront home in West Cork.
An application was originally submitted to Cork County Council earlier
this month by Ms Ronan’s production company, but was marked as
incomplete due to a request for further information made by the
Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
Slaney Production ULC, which has an address in Dublin, where Ms Ronan
acts as a director, re-submitted the application to the council earlier
this week.
The newlywed celebrity is seeking to demolish the existing 125 sq
metres house in Foilnamuck, Ballydehob, and to further construct a
replacement single-storey three-bedroomed house to the size of 332 sq
metres.
The Irish-American actress, star of Brooklyn, Little Women, and Lady
Bird, married actor Jack Lowden in a ceremony in Scotland last month.
The plans will also see the relocation of the existing access and
private laneway from the north of the site to the north-west for
improved sightlines.
Further included in the plans is hard and soft landscaping, boundary
treatment, and all associated site development works above and below
ground.
The development will also be connected to a new wastewater treatment
system that has been granted permission in accordance with Cork County
Council regulations, but has not yet been implemented.
The charming stone cottage is situated near the water’s edge of
Roaringwater Bay, and is accompanied by an external guesthouse, which
is not included in the demolition plans submitted to the local
authority.
Ms Ronan purchased the home in West Cork in 2020, following the sale of
her Greystones estate in Wicklow for €1.6m in 2019.
Cork County Council is due to make a decision on the application by
November 21.
