Proposed construction of a single storey extension to an existing storey and a half type

Catherine Mimnagh has applied to Longford County Council for permission to build a single‑storey extension onto her existing storey‑and‑a‑half dwelling at Lyneen in Killashee, Co Longford. The application also covers renovation of the house, decommissioning of the current septic tank with soak pit and installation of a new wastewater treatment system featuring a polishing filter, to be carried out in accordance with the EPA Code of Practice 2021.

The council received the application on 14 May 2026. A conditional decision was issued on 19 June 2026, with the final decision due by 8 July 2026. The proposal is therefore subject to conditions that will be set out in the council’s decision notice.

These works are part of a wider effort to upgrade local infrastructure and ensure environmental compliance. In line with the council’s recent focus on positive coverage, the new Cathaoirleach has launched a social‑media campaign encouraging good news stories about Longford, and this development is being highlighted as an example of progress in the county.

The full planning file (reference 2660160) lists Catherine Mimnagh as applicant and Adriana Navarro as architect/agent. Residents wishing to review the details or any conditions attached can consult the council’s online portal for the complete application documents.
