31-home residential development approved with modifications to original plan

Colette Bogue has received approval from Cavan County Council to construct 31 new homes at the Ashbrooke Housing Estate, situated near Cavan town in County Cavan. The development, granted with conditions on 5 May 2026, will comprise ten two‑storey, four‑bed semi‑detached houses, two two‑storey, four‑bed detached houses, six two‑storey, three‑bed semi‑detached houses, four two‑storey, three‑bed terraced houses and nine two‑storey, two‑bed terraced houses. All dwellings will be fully serviced.

The council’s decision, recorded under planning reference PL23/113 and file reference 2560304, involves several site alterations. These include upgrading the service road, reshaping the site boundaries and open space, and connecting the development to public utilities. A Natura Impact Statement will be submitted to the Planning Authority in line with the plans submitted with the application.

The Ashbrooke Housing Estate site, located in Rosscolgan, Burgessacre and Moynehall, Cavan, will see the addition of a range of residential units that meet the council’s standards for quality and sustainability. The applicant, Colette Bogue, has amended the original plan to accommodate the expanded housing programme, ensuring that the final layout meets the council’s conditions for infrastructure and environmental assessment.

The approval marks a significant step in the village’s housing supply, following earlier reports of multi‑million‑euro development plans for the area. The council’s decision reflects its commitment to delivering new homes while addressing infrastructure and environmental requirements.
