New house with wastewater treatment system at Ballyknave, Claremorris

Ruadhán O Carroll has submitted an application to Mayo County Council for permission to build a new domestic dwelling at Ballyknave, near Claremorris in Co Mayo. The proposal includes the installation of a new wastewater treatment system and a percolation area designed to manage drainage on the site, together with ancillary works required to prepare the land for construction.

The application was received by the council on 16 April 2026 and carries a decision code of “CONDITIONAL.” A decision is due by 10 June 2026, and the council issued its decision on 9 June 2026. The approval allows the development to proceed subject to the conditions set out in the council’s decision.

The project will see the site at Ballyknave upgraded with the necessary infrastructure to support a new household while ensuring that wastewater is treated locally and drainage is managed through a percolation system, thereby reducing impact on surrounding land. The planning file (Reference 2660305) contains further details of the proposed works.
