Two light industrial units plus office building on business park site

Meegan Builders (Castleblayney) Ltd has applied to Monaghan County Council for the construction of a new industrial and office complex on the Cloghvally Lower site, a business park area near Carrickmacross in County Monaghan. The proposal calls for a single‑storey industrial building that will house two light industrial units, together with a separate two‑storey office and amenities building. A 2.4‑metre high boundary wall is also planned to enclose the site.

The development will be accessed via the existing business park service road and the R927 carriageway, and will connect to the current drainage network, including a foul drainage link to the pumping station and a storm drainage connection to the mains sewer. The council file also notes that landscaping, retaining walls and other ancillary works will accompany the main structures.

The planning application, reference 2660160, was received on 27 April 2026. Monaghan County Council has issued a conditional decision, which was formally recorded on 25 August 2026, with the decision due to be finalised by 26 August 2026. The conditional approval means that the project can proceed once the specified conditions are satisfied.

The proposal represents a modest expansion of industrial capacity within the Carrickmacross business park, adding two light industrial units and a new office facility to the area. The council’s decision reflects the local authority’s willingness to support small‑scale industrial development that aligns with the existing land use and infrastructure.
