Planning application 2560328

A planning application has been lodged with Roscommon County Council under reference 2560328. The proposal, submitted by Joseph Beirne, seeks retention permission for a range of facilities on a site in Lustia, Battlebridge, Co. Roscommon. The application covers seven single‑storey glamping cabins, an enclosed roofed outdoor area adjacent to the existing public house, a storage shed and sauna, and a first‑floor commercial space above the pub.

The council received the application on 4 July 2025. The decision was scheduled for 18 May 2026, and that date was confirmed as the decision date. The council’s decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL, indicating that any approval will be subject to specific conditions that must be satisfied by the applicant. The status of the application was not recorded earlier in the council’s public records, but the conditional decision has now been entered.

Roscommon County Council’s planning portal lists the application under the reference 2560328 and provides the full description of the proposed retention permissions. The decision, made on 18 May 2026, reflects the council’s assessment of the proposal’s compliance with local planning policies and the conditions that will need to be met before any development can proceed.

The application is part of a broader trend of small‑scale tourism and hospitality projects in the county, though the council has not indicated any wider policy changes. The decision remains subject to the conditions set by the council, and the applicant will need to address these before any construction or operational activities can commence.
