Replace one house with new build and add second dwelling on half-acre site

McGing Developments Ltd Murrisk Na Bol has applied to replace an existing bungalow on a half‑acre site in Sheean, Westport, with a new dwelling house and to construct a second dwelling adjacent to it. The proposal includes connections for both houses to the public water supply and sewer system, together with landscaping works.

The planning application was submitted to Mayo County Council on 17 April 2026 and was due for decision on 11 June 2026. On 10 June 2026 the council issued a refusal notice, indicating that the proposal does not satisfy current planning policy requirements.

The site in Sheean is situated within Westport, Co Mayo, and the applicant has indicated that both new houses would be linked to mains water and sewers as part of the development. The council’s decision reflects its assessment of the suitability of the proposed changes for the local area.
