Farm building converted to residential home with roof raise and new extension

Paul Meegan is undertaking a conversion of an existing single‑storey farm building into a residential dwelling near Rockcorry in County Monaghan. The project, approved by Monaghan County Council, involves raising the roof height to create a more spacious interior and adding a new single‑storey extension to the front and side of the original structure. In addition, a new wastewater treatment system will be installed to meet modern environmental standards. The conversion aims to preserve the character of the rural setting while providing a functional and comfortable home for the future occupants. Local residents have expressed support for the development, noting that it will make efficient use of existing land and infrastructure. The planning application includes detailed drawings and specifications, and the council has confirmed that the works comply with the county’s planning policies for rural development. The project is expected to be completed in the coming months, after the necessary building regulations and environmental approvals are secured. For more information, see the Monaghan County Council planning documents.
