Aaron Smith has lodged a new planning application with Cavan County Council for the demolition of an existing agricultural shed and the construction of a single‑story granny flat extension attached to his dwelling at Killygrogan, Lavey, Co. Cavan. The proposal also includes a new sewage treatment system and percolation area that will cover the entire site.

The application was received by the council on 29 April 2026 and carries a conditional decision code. A final decision is due on 23 June 2026, and the council confirmed its decision on 22 June 2026. The approval will allow Smith to carry out the demolition of the shed, build the granny flat and install the required sewage infrastructure in accordance with local planning regulations.

The application was submitted under reference 2660216 and is now pending final review by the council’s planning committee. While the council has not yet released a timetable for the new development, it remains open to further scrutiny before any works can commence.
