House renovation with roof raise, extensions and new garage

Sean and Suzanne Duffy have received conditional approval from Mayo County Council to carry out a major overhaul of their house at Crowhill in Cloontia, Co. Mayo. The council’s decision, recorded under reference 2660352, was made on 22 June 2026 after the application was submitted on 6 May 2026 and was due for completion by 30 June.

The approved works include demolishing the existing rear extension and front porch, raising the roof level of the main house, and constructing new side and rear extensions. A new domestic garage is also to be built, along with an upgraded wastewater treatment system and a percolation area. The Dufys will tidy the site entrance and boundaries and carry out all ancillary development works required for the project.

The decision was granted on a conditional basis, meaning that certain conditions set by the council must be satisfied before construction can commence. No specific details of those conditions were disclosed in the planning file, but the approval confirms that the proposed changes are acceptable to the local authority provided they comply with the stipulated requirements.

The Dufys’ project represents a significant transformation of their property, involving both demolition and new construction as well as essential infrastructure upgrades. The council’s decision allows them to move forward with the planned renovations, subject to meeting the conditions outlined in the planning approval.
