Single storey extension (82sqm) to side of detached single storey multi-purpose building

Attic Youth Cafe CLG has applied for a single‑storey extension of 82 square metres to the side of its detached, single‑storey multi‑purpose building on Attic House, Major’s Well Road in Deanscurragh, Longford (N39 Y5X7). The application also covers all ancillary works required for the new addition.

The planning application was submitted to Longford County Council on 13 May 2026. The council’s decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, and the final decision was made on 25 June 2026, ahead of the originally scheduled decision date of 7 July 2026. Under the conditional approval, the applicant will need to meet any conditions set by the council before construction can commence.

Attic Youth Cafe CLG is a community‑led organisation that operates a youth café and multi‑purpose space in the area. The proposed extension would increase the usable floor area of the existing building, allowing for expanded facilities for local residents and visitors. No further details on the design or intended use of the additional space were provided in the council file.

The planning application is part of a series of recent submissions in Longford County, which include projects such as a ten‑bay double agricultural shed with slatted area, a dry‑bedded area, concrete apron and slurry for Greenhall Upper; retention permission for existing first‑floor accommodation at Clontumpher Ballinalee; proposed dormer‑type dwelling houses and detached garages for domestic use in Cartronbore Granard; and renovations to the ground floor of an existing two‑storey dwelling house.

The council’s decision on the Attic Youth Cafe CLG extension reflects its ongoing review of community development projects across the county. The conditional approval will allow the organisation to proceed with planning, subject to meeting any specified conditions before construction can begin.
