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

Anthony O’Brien has received a conditional decision from Cavan County Council on his application to retain planning permission for a single‑storey extension at the rear of his property and to convert an existing garage into a side entrance at Deerpark, Virginia, in County Cavan. The council’s decision, reference 2660205, was issued on 16 June 2026 after the application was received on 23 April 2026. Under the conditional approval, O’Brien must satisfy any conditions set by the council before construction can commence.

The decision follows a series of recent planning approvals in the county, including the demolition of an agricultural shed and the erection of a single‑storey granny flat at Killygrogan, Lavey; the construction of a fully serviced two‑storey dwelling with a detached domestic garage at Cornaseer; and the replacement of a derelict dwelling and barn at Drummury Corrick. These approvals illustrate the council’s ongoing work to manage residential development across Cavan.

In other local news, Cavan County Council is preparing to launch an Affordable Purchase Scheme aimed at first‑time buyers and “Fresh Start” applicants. The scheme will offer homes at reduced prices, with further details expected in the coming months on the council’s website.

The conditional decision for O’Brien’s project means that while the council has not yet granted full approval, it recognises the viability of the proposal provided any stipulated conditions are met. Residents and developers can refer to the council’s planning portal for more information on the application and its requirements.
