Home renovation with new upper floor, dormer windows, rear extension and widened driveway

Fiona O’Hanrahan and Adnan Chughtai have submitted a planning application to Monaghan County Council for a substantial renovation of their home at 6 Killyconigan, Monaghan. The proposal, reference 2660155, seeks permission to raise the roof and add an upper floor, install dormer windows and roof lights, and construct a single‑storey extension at the rear of the property. In addition, the applicants plan to widen the existing vehicular entrance and make a range of other exterior changes, including landscaping and associated site works.

The council received the application on 23 April 2026. A decision was expected by 31 August 2026, but the council issued a conditional decision on 25 August 2026. The decision code is “CONDITIONAL”, indicating that the council has approved the proposal subject to certain conditions that the applicants must satisfy before construction can commence.

The application details a new roof structure with a raised ridge level to accommodate the proposed upper floor, the addition of dormer windows and roof lights, and the construction of a single‑storey rear extension. Elevational amendments and widening of the driveway entrance are also included, along with landscaping and all associated site works.

The decision follows a broader pattern of local development in the county. Monaghan County Council has recently received €290 000 under a climate scheme, a fact reported by NorthernSound, although this funding is unrelated to the Killyconigan renovation. The council’s planning portal lists the application as a renovation of an existing dwelling, and the decision is recorded under the council’s planning database.
