New private house, garage and wastewater treatment at Craddenstown

Louise Flynn has submitted a planning application to build a new private dwelling on the Craddenstown site in Raharney, Co Westmeath. The proposal calls for a two‑storey house and an attached domestic garage, together with a proprietary effluent treatment system that incorporates a percolation area. A new entrance onto the local road is also part of the scheme, along with all ancillary services required to make the site fully functional.

The West County Council received the application on 6 May 2026 and has granted it conditional approval under decision code “CONDITIONAL”. The council recorded the decision on 30 June 2026. Conditional status means that the applicant must satisfy any conditions set by the council before construction can commence, but no further appeals have been lodged against this particular application.

The approved plan ensures that the new entrance will provide direct access from the main road to the site, while the wastewater treatment system is designed to meet local environmental standards. All utilities – water supply, drainage and other essential services – are included in the application, giving the council a clear picture of how the development will be integrated into existing infrastructure.

West County Council has recently considered several similar residential projects across the county. These include a one‑and‑a‑half storey house with garage at Blackmiles, a home extension converted to bedroom and bathroom at Harbour Quay, and a new house and garage with septic tank at Bryanstown. The Craddenstown application follows this pattern of private housing developments that the council is approving under its planning framework.
