New house with garage and wastewater treatment system

Johnny and Martina Morrin have lodged a planning application with Mayo County Council for a new residential property at Gortaphuill in Ballyglass, a locality situated close to Claremorris in County Mayo. The proposal includes a single‑storey house, a detached garage and a dedicated wastewater treatment unit, together with a percolation area to manage runoff. The application is currently under review by the council’s planning department.

The Morrins’ plans outline a modern dwelling designed to meet contemporary standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. The wastewater treatment system is intended to process domestic effluent on site, reducing the load on the public sewer network, while the percolation area will allow treated water to infiltrate the ground safely. The garage is to provide secure parking and storage for the occupants.

The council has not yet issued a decision, and the application remains in the early stages of the planning process. Residents of Ballyglass and the wider Claremorris area can view the application details on the Mayo County Council website, where the council publishes all planning submissions and decisions.
