To erect a dwelling house, and to install a treatment unit to provide secondary and

Donna O’Neill has applied to Longford County Council for permission to erect a dwelling house and install a treatment unit at Aghnagore in Cloondra, Co Longford. The proposal includes secondary and tertiary treatment works together with all associated site works required for the new building.

The application was lodged on 19 May 2026 and entered the council’s planning register under reference 2626. It carries a decision code of “CONDITIONAL”, indicating that any approval would be subject to conditions set by the council. The council’s decision deadline was 13 July 2026, but the matter was resolved earlier – the council issued its decision on 30 June 2026.

The decision confirms that the applicant may proceed with construction provided she complies with the conditions attached to the conditional approval. These conditions typically cover matters such as site layout, drainage, and compliance with local planning policies, though the specific requirements were not detailed in the public record.

This application follows a string of other recent planning submissions in Longford, including extensions to existing dwellings and new roof works at various sites across the county. While those projects are unrelated to O’Neill’s proposal, they illustrate the council’s ongoing review of residential developments within the area.

The treatment unit proposed by Ms O’Neill is intended to provide secondary and tertiary wastewater treatment for the dwelling house, a requirement that aligns with the county’s environmental management objectives. The council’s decision will allow the applicant to move forward with securing any necessary permits and engaging contractors for the construction phase.
