Permission to erect a one and a half storey dwelling house

Fiona Lynskey has applied to Monaghan County Council for permission to build a one‑and‑a‑half‑storey dwelling house on a site at Acres, Knockatallan, Co. Monaghan. The proposal also includes the installation of a filter unit and a percolation area, and the creation of a new entrance that would give the house direct access to a public road.

The application was received by the council on 3 September 2025 and was due for a decision on 26 May 2026. The council issued a conditional decision on 19 May 2026, a week before the deadline. The decision, recorded under reference 2570, carries the code “CONDITIONAL”, meaning that the applicant must satisfy certain conditions before construction can proceed.

The council’s planning department handled the application and the decision is now available in the council’s public records. The conditional nature of the approval indicates that the council has identified specific requirements that must be met, although the details of those conditions are not disclosed in the summary.

The decision is part of the council’s ongoing planning work in the area and reflects the local authority’s role in managing development on rural land. Residents and other stakeholders can view the full decision and any associated conditions on the council’s website.

For further details, see the Monaghan County Council planning file (reference 2570) and the council’s public decision record.
