Two-bedroom extension and rear addition to house in Belass

Sharon and Peter Gannon of Belass in Foxford have applied to Mayo County Council for an expansion of their family home. The proposal includes a single‑storey rear extension covering 26 square metres, together with the addition of two new bedrooms on the first floor totalling roughly 29 square metres above the existing single‑storey section. In line with the current character of the property, the plans also call for internal and external upgrades to match the finishes already in place.

The application was submitted on 16 April 2026 and entered a conditional approval process. The council’s decision, issued on 4 June 2026, confirmed that the works may proceed subject to the conditions set out by the planning authority. The final decision is expected to be formally recorded by 10 June 2026.

The Gannons’ project will increase the living space of their home while maintaining its architectural harmony with the surrounding area of Foxford in County Mayo. Residents and neighbours can view the full council file, reference number 2688, for detailed plans and conditions.
