Permission for the erection of a dwelling house

Michelle and Francis Kerins have lodged a planning application with Roscommon County Council for the erection of a dwelling house, a garage, the construction of an effluent treatment plant and the carrying out of all necessary site works at Culliagharny, Creagh, Ballinasloe, Co Roscommon. The application, received on 20 May 2026, is currently in the pre‑validation stage. The council will review the proposal and is expected to issue a decision by 14 July 2026. The application is recorded under reference 2660238 in the council’s planning portal.

The proposal includes a single dwelling house and a garage, together with an effluent treatment plant designed to manage on‑site wastewater. The applicants have also submitted plans for the required site works to prepare the land for construction. The pre‑validation process will assess whether the proposal meets the council’s planning criteria before a full decision is made.

While the council considers this application, it is also dealing with other planning matters. In particular, the council is expected to confirm its opposition to a proposed big wind farm in the Frenchpark and Ballinagare area. The wind farm, which would comprise eleven turbines standing 185 metres tall, is part of the Carrigeen Renewable Energy Development. The council’s stance will be forwarded to An Coimisiún Pleanála, which will ultimately decide on the wind farm’s planning permission.

The application by the Kerins couple is one of several projects under review by the council at this time. The council will weigh the local planning policies and the specific details of the proposal before making a decision. The outcome will be communicated to the applicants and, if approved, the development will proceed under the council’s oversight.
