Extension of duration: Construct dwelling house

A planning application for an extension of duration to construct a dwelling house at Cloggernagh East, Glenhest, Newport in County Mayo has been refused by the local authority.

Shane Nevin had sought permission from Mayo County Council to extend the timeframe for the development, which was to include a domestic garage, proprietary effluent treatment system, and soil polishing filter, alongside associated site works. The council's decision to refuse the extension of duration was issued on 1 May 2026.

An extension of duration application allows developers to extend the validity period of an existing planning permission, providing additional time to commence construction work before the original permission expires. The refusal means that Mr Nevin will not be able to proceed with extending the timeline for this particular project at the Newport location.

Further details regarding the council's reasons for refusing the extension of duration application are not currently available.

For the full planning details, interested parties can consult Mayo County Council's planning records.
