Two-storey house with access and wastewater treatment at Bunnaconeen

Grace Bane has been granted conditional planning permission by Galway County Council to construct a two‑storey house on the Bunnaconeen site in Headford, Co Galway. The approval, issued on 30 April 2026, includes provisions for a new site access route and an effluent treatment system to manage the building’s wastewater. The council’s decision follows a review of the development proposal, which outlined the need for the access road to accommodate construction traffic and the treatment facility to comply with environmental regulations. The house will be situated on a parcel of land that previously had no residential structures, and the planning conditions require that the access and wastewater systems be installed before construction can commence. Local residents have been notified of the approval, and the council has indicated that the project will proceed once the necessary infrastructure is in place. The conditional nature of the permission means that Bane must meet all stipulated conditions before the building can be erected. For more details see the Galway County Council planning decision.
