Retention of a serviced dwelling with a septic tank and percolation area

The Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Littlehampton have received conditional approval from Mayo County Council for the retention of a residential dwelling with associated septic tank and percolation area at Eden, near Knock, County Mayo. The application also covers a domestic shed and garage on revised site boundaries at the location.

The permission sought relates to structures that were originally authorised under planning reference P91/988. The council issued its conditional decision on the matter on 27 April 2026, moving the development forward following the revised site boundary proposal.

The retention permission allows the organisation to formally regularise the status of the existing buildings and associated infrastructure on the site. The septic tank and percolation area are essential components for the serviced dwelling's wastewater management in the rural Mayo location.

More details are available from the Mayo County Council planning portal.
