Renovation and extension of house at Attireesh, Westport

Padraig and Fiona Maguire have lodged a planning application with Mayo County Council to renovate and extend their home at Attireesh in Westport, Co Mayo. The proposal includes all ancillary site works required for the project, such as foundations, utilities and drainage adjustments.

The council received the application on 11 May 2026 under reference 2660366. After review, a conditional decision was issued on 25 June 2026, with the final decision due on 5 July 2026. The conditional status indicates that certain conditions must be satisfied before full approval is granted.

The Maguires’ property sits in the Attireesh area of Westport and the planned works aim to improve the dwelling while maintaining its character within the local context. The council’s decision reflects a balance between allowing homeowners to upgrade their homes and ensuring compliance with planning regulations that protect the visual and environmental quality of the area.

While the council has not yet issued a final approval, the conditional decision suggests that the proposal meets many of the council’s criteria but requires further compliance with specific conditions set out in the decision letter. Homeowners wishing to proceed will need to address any outstanding conditions before the council can issue full planning permission. The Maguires are expected to work closely with the council and their contractors to meet these requirements within the stipulated timeframe.

For more information on the application, see the Mayo County Council planning file (reference 2660366).
