Planning application received: for a residential development scheme containing 21 no. residential units consisting of 14 no. 3 bed

A planning application has been lodged with Cavan County Council for a residential development at Swellan Upper in the town of Cavan, Co Cavan. The scheme, submitted by Latt Properties Ltd., proposes the construction of 21 residential units, including 14 three‑bedroom homes. The application was received on 19 June 2026 and is currently listed as incomplete.

The proposal details a mixed‑use development that would add a significant number of dwellings to the local area. While the council has not yet issued a decision, the submission indicates that Latt Properties Ltd. intends to deliver a range of housing options within the existing rural setting. The application reference is 2660344 and can be viewed on the council’s planning portal for further technical details.

Other recent applications in the county include plans for an agricultural shed with a slatted area and slurry holding tank, as well as proposals for single‑storey extensions to existing dwellings. These projects illustrate the diversity of development activity currently under consideration by Cavan County Council.

In unrelated news, the council has issued a warning about algal blooms in local lakes, advising dog owners and residents to exercise caution due to potential skin irritation or toxicity. While this environmental alert does not directly affect the Swellan Upper proposal, it reflects ongoing concerns about water quality within the county.

The outcome of the Swellan Upper application will be decided after the council completes its assessment, which typically involves public consultation and technical review. If approved, the development would provide a mix of housing types that could meet local demand for family homes in the area.
