32 new residential units approved at Station Lane, Swellan Lower

Woodfort Developments Ltd has received planning permission to construct 32 new homes on an unfinished site at Station Lane in Swellan Lower, Cavan. The scheme, approved by Cavan County Council on 29 April 2026, will comprise four two‑bedroom units, twelve three‑bedroom units and sixteen four‑bedroom units, all two storeys high. In addition to the dwellings, the development will include roads, drainage, landscaping and access via the existing service road that services the current Station Lane development. The council’s decision also authorises connections to the existing foul main and a water main under construction (Pl Ref 23159), as well as surface water discharge, bulk excavation, land grading, landscaped open space, planting and all ancillary site works. A Natura Impact Statement will be submitted and will be available for inspection or purchase. The approval is conditional, with the council imposing 33 conditions that Woodfort must satisfy before construction can commence. The planning file details the full scope of the works and the environmental safeguards required. Full details are available on the Cavan County Council planning portal.
