EXTENSION OF DURATION: CONSTRUCT DWELLING HOUSE

A planning application in Ballina has been refused following a request to extend the duration of a previous permission. Mary Gill had sought approval to proceed with the construction of a dwelling house, domestic garage, and wastewater treatment system with soil polishing filter at Kildavaroge, Castlehill, in the town. The application also encompassed various ancillary site works and services necessary for the development.

Mayo County Council's planning department issued a refusal decision on 1 May 2026. The decision means that the extension of duration for the original permission to construct the residential property has not been granted, and any works associated with the scheme cannot proceed under that extended timeframe.

Extensions of duration are typically sought when an applicant requires additional time beyond the original permission period to commence or complete development. The refusal suggests that either the council deemed the extension request did not meet the necessary criteria, or other planning considerations were not satisfied.

Those with an interest in the application may wish to consult the full planning records held by Mayo County Council for further details on the decision and any conditions that may have been considered.

For the full planning details, interested parties can contact Mayo County Council's planning department or review the official planning register.
