Seeking retention permission for dwelling house built under 1975 planning approval

Anthony Gallagher has applied to Mayo County Council for formal permission to retain a dwelling house situated on Gortgarve in Kiltimagh, Co Mayo. The house was originally constructed under a 1975 planning approval (reference P75/162) and the application now seeks to keep it as built, together with all ancillary site works that accompanied the original development.

The council received the application on 20 April 2026 and issued a decision code of “CONDITIONAL” on 4 June 2026. The decision was due by 14 June 2026, indicating that the council had reviewed the request within the statutory timeframe. The applicant’s request covers both the dwelling itself and any associated site works that were part of the initial build.

No further details about the nature of the ancillary works or any conditions attached to the approval have been disclosed in the available documentation. The application is a straightforward retention request, seeking to preserve an existing structure rather than propose new development.

For more information on the planning file and the council’s decision, see the Mayo County Council planning records.
