Planning application received: planning permission to construct a slatted shed for the housing of livestock, together with other as

On 3 June 2026 Monaghan County Council received a planning application from Alex Waddell of Leek, Glaslough. The proposal seeks permission to construct a slatted shed for the housing of livestock, together with other facilities on the site. The council has recorded the submission as a new application and is expected to deliver a decision by 28 July 2026.

The request was lodged at the council’s planning office in Co Monaghan, where it will be considered alongside other developments in the area. While the application itself focuses on livestock accommodation, it forms part of a broader pattern of rural development activity that has seen the council grant permission for 45 houses during the first quarter of 2026. Of those approvals, 39 were one‑off houses and six were multi‑development projects, with a total of 74 dwelling units in the latter group.

The application is currently pending review; no further details have been released by the council at this stage. Residents elsewhere in Monaghan have recently appealed against a separate multi‑million euro housing development that was rejected, but that matter remains unrelated to Mr Waddell’s proposal.
