New bungalow with attic, garage and treatment system at Moy, Emyvale

Niamh McQuaid and Amanda McGeer have secured conditional planning permission from Monaghan County Council to construct a new single‑storey bungalow with developed attic space on a site at Moy (DED: Derrygorry) near Emyvale in Co Monaghan. The approved scheme also includes a detached domestic garage, a proprietary wastewater treatment system and an upgraded entrance to the property, together with other ancillary works required for the development.

The council’s decision, recorded under reference 2660180, was made on 19 June 2026 after the applicants submitted their plans on 6 May 2026. The permission is conditional, meaning that certain conditions must be met before construction can commence. These conditions are typical of new dwelling proposals in rural areas and will likely cover matters such as site drainage, access arrangements and compliance with local planning policies.

The bungalow design incorporates an attic space that has been developed to provide additional living area, a feature that is increasingly popular among homeowners seeking extra accommodation without expanding the footprint of the house. The attached garage will offer secure parking for vehicles and storage, while the wastewater treatment system ensures that the site remains environmentally compliant with the county’s water management regulations.

The applicants have also proposed upgrading the entrance to the property, which will improve access from the main road and enhance safety for residents and visitors alike. Associated works such as landscaping, fencing and drainage are included in the planning application to ensure a cohesive development that meets both aesthetic and functional standards.

Monaghan County Council’s decision reflects its ongoing commitment to supporting residential growth in rural communities while maintaining environmental safeguards. The conditional approval allows the applicants to proceed with detailed design work and secure necessary building permits once all conditions have been satisfied.
