For the demolition of an existing sunroom and the construction of a single-storey

Philippa Bignell has lodged a planning application with Cavan County Council for the demolition of an existing sunroom and the erection of a single‑storey replacement extension to the side and front of Gorteen House, a two‑storey detached dwelling situated on Cloghballybeg in Mullagh. The house is listed as a protected structure (Reg. No CV0102) and the application includes all associated site works.

The council received the application on 23 April 2026. It was granted a conditional decision code, with the final decision due by 17 June 2026. On that date the council confirmed the decision, allowing the applicant to proceed subject to any conditions imposed. The authority remains Cavan County Council and the planning area is Co. Cavan.

The proposed works involve removing the existing sunroom and constructing a new single‑storey extension that will extend both to the side and front of the current dwelling. No further details on the design or materials are provided in the application, but the council’s decision indicates that the proposal meets the necessary planning requirements for a protected structure.

This application follows other recent planning submissions in the county, including proposals to erect a two‑storey dwelling, construct a domestic garage and new entrance at Carrick West in Glangevlin. These projects illustrate the ongoing activity on residential development within Cavan.

The council’s decision process is standard: applications are reviewed against local planning policies, heritage considerations for protected structures, and any relevant statutory requirements. Once approved, developers must comply with any conditions set by the council before commencing works.
