Retention of house extension and upgrade to septic tank system

Dom and Camilla Matterson of Dadreen, Thallabaun, in the parish of Louisburgh, Co Mayo, have lodged a planning application with Mayo County Council. The application seeks permission to retain an extension that has already been constructed on their property and to complete the work. In addition, the couple are proposing an upgrade to their existing septic tank system. They plan to replace the current tank with a modern treatment system that incorporates a new percolation bed, designed to manage wastewater more effectively and in line with environmental standards.

The council will consider the application under the local planning scheme, taking into account the impact on the surrounding area and compliance with health and environmental regulations. The Mattersons have indicated that the extension is already in place and that the upgrade will improve the efficiency and sustainability of the household’s wastewater management.

The application reflects a broader trend in rural Mayo, where homeowners are seeking to modernise infrastructure while preserving existing structures. Local residents and planning officers will be able to review the details of the proposal through the council’s public records.
