Extension of time refused for new house construction at Carrowbaun

A planning application to extend the construction timeline for a new residential dwelling at Carrowbaun, Swinford has been rejected by Mayo County Council.

Sean Conway had sought permission to defer the commencement of building works on the property, which was designed to include a house, garage, septic tank and percolation area. The council's planning department refused the request for an extension of time in April.

The refusal means that the original timeframe for beginning construction on the site has now expired. Property owners in Ireland typically have a set period following planning permission approval to commence development, after which they must reapply if they wish to proceed.

The decision brings to an end Conway's attempt to extend his building schedule at the Swinford location without returning to the council with a fresh application should he wish to progress with the project in future.
