Dwellinghouse along with a proposed replacement of the existing WWTS system and a

Cathal Mc Guinness has applied to Leitrim County Council for permission to build a dwellinghouse on a site in Corlea, Rossinver, Co Leitrim (F91 RY60). The proposal also includes a replacement of the existing wastewater treatment system (WWTS) and the creation of a new percolation area to manage stormwater runoff.

The application was submitted on 30 March 2026 and the council set a decision date of 24 May 2026. On 19 May 2026 the council issued a conditional decision, granting approval subject to the conditions outlined in the council’s decision letter. The decision code is listed as “CONDITIONAL” in the council’s planning file (Reference 2660083).

The dwellinghouse is intended to be a single‑storey structure, and the new WWTS will replace the current system on the site. The percolation area is designed to absorb and filter stormwater before it reaches the surrounding environment. The council’s decision confirms that the applicant has met the necessary planning requirements, though the conditions attached to the approval will need to be satisfied before construction can commence.

The decision is part of a series of recent planning approvals in Co Leitrim, which also include developments in Largydonn, Ballinamore and Drumkeeran. The council’s planning portal lists the decision as a conditional approval, indicating that further compliance checks may be required.

For more details, see the Leitrim County Council planning file (Reference 2660083).
