For retention planning permission for single storey extension to rear and garage

A planning application has been lodged with Cavan County Council seeking retention permission for building works already carried out at a property in Virginia, County Cavan.

Anthony O'Brien has applied for retrospective consent for a single storey extension constructed to the rear of his home, as well as the conversion of a garage space to the side of the dwelling at Deerpark, Virginia. The application is being processed as a new case by the council's planning department.

Retention permission, also known as retrospective planning permission, is sought when building works have been completed without the necessary planning consent having been obtained in advance. Property owners in such circumstances must apply to the local authority to regularise the unauthorised development.

The council will assess the application against relevant planning policies and guidelines to determine whether the extension and garage conversion comply with development standards for the area. Members of the public typically have an opportunity to make submissions on planning applications during the statutory consultation period.

For full details of this application and to track its progress, interested parties can consult Cavan County Council's planning portal or contact the council directly.
