EXTENSION OF DURATION: CONSTRUCT NEW DWELLING HOUSE

A planning application for an extension of duration to construct a new dwelling house in Swinford has been refused by Mayo County Council. Sean Conway had sought permission to build a residential property along with a domestic garage, septic tank and percolation area, plus associated site works at Carrowbaun. The council's decision to refuse the application was issued on 23 April 2026. The refusal means that the proposed development will not proceed unless the applicant appeals the decision or submits a fresh planning application addressing the council's concerns. Further details on the specific grounds for refusal can be obtained through Mayo County Council's planning portal.
