Paul O'Reilly has submitted a planning application to Roscommon County Council for a development at Clooneigh in Carrick on Shannon, Co. Roscommon. The proposal, which has entered the pre‑validation stage, calls for the construction of a single‑storey side extension and a rear extension to the existing dwelling house. In addition, the applicant plans landscaping works and all associated works necessary to facilitate the development.

The site address is Clooneigh, Carrick on Shannon, Co. Roscommon, N41 PW61. The application was received by the council on 19 May 2026 andlevant a decision is expected by 13 July 2026. The planning authority is Roscommon County Council, and the reference number for the file is 2660234.

The pre‑validation process will assess the technical and statutory aspects of the proposal before it moves to the full planning application stage. If the council accepts the pre‑validation, the applicant will be required to submit a full application, including detailed plans, environmental statements and any other supporting documentation.

The applicant, Paul O'Reilly, has indicated that the extensions will be constructed using materials that match the existing building fabric, and that the landscaping will include native plantings to enhance biodiversity. The proposed extensions are intended to increase the internal floor area of the dwelling while maintaining the character of the surrounding area. The landscaping works are designed to integrate the new extensions with the existing site, ensuring that the visual impact is minimised.

The council will consider the application against the relevant planning policies, including those relating to the protection of the rural environment, the preservation of the character of the settlement and the provision of adequate infrastructure and services. The council will also assess the impact on local traffic and drainage. The council will also consider the environmental impact of the proposed drainage scheme and the potential for increased traffic during construction. The decision will be communicated to the applicant in writing, and if approved, the applicant will be required to obtain any necessary consents and comply with any conditions imposed by the council.

Stakeholders are encouraged to review the application details and submit any comments by the deadline.
