The file is currently at the pre-validation stage, meaning the application has been submitted but not yet formally accepted by the planning authority. Drawings submitted by Cunningham Design & Planning, as part of the proposal.

The Corner House is a landmark town centre building with historical significance as it once served as a ticket office for the White Star Line, the company best known for owning the Titanic.

The building was brought to the market late last year with an asking price of €250,000 and was quickly snapped up.

Planning applicants Cassidy Blinds Ltd, the director of which is listed as Shane Cassidy with a business address of Ballagh Road, Stonepark, Longford , is cited on the application as being the owners of the Corner House.

If the application is formally accepted by the planning authority, a decision is expected to be returned by June 16.
