The construction of (i) a proposed agricultural cattle shed
James Orohoe has secured conditional permission from Longford County Council to build a new agricultural cattle shed on Aughine Terrace in Moydow, Co Longford. The application, received on 7 May 2026, proposes a three‑bay single slatted structure finished with olive green agricultural box cladding. A matching canopy and fencing or cattle barrier are also included, together with all associated site works.
The council’s decision, recorded under code CONDITIONAL, was issued on 23 June 2026, ahead of the original deadline of 1 July 2026. The approval allows construction to proceed subject to any conditions set by the planning authority. The shed will provide a modern, weather‑proof facility for local livestock farmers and is expected to enhance the agricultural infrastructure in the area.
The application follows a string of recent planning submissions across Longford. Nearby, a ten‑bay double agricultural shed with slatted roof has been approved at Greenhall Upper Newtowncashel, while a separate retention permission was granted for first‑floor accommodation at Clontumpher Ballinalee. These developments reflect the county’s ongoing support for rural enterprise.
While the council is busy reviewing building proposals, other infrastructure projects are also underway. The N63 between Lanesboro and Longford Town will close from 6 July to 28 August to carry out pavement improvement works between Kilashee Village and Gowland. Motorists will be diverted via the R397 and R392 routes during this period.
The new cattle shed at Aughine Terrace is one of several projects that illustrate how local authorities are balancing agricultural needs with broader community development. Residents in Moydow can look forward to a modern facility that meets contemporary standards for animal welfare and farm efficiency.
