New 4-bedroom dormer house with treatment system on Bog Road

Kenneth Delaney and Jennifer Kelly have applied to West County Council to construct a new four‑bedroom dormer dwelling on Bog Road in Milltownpass, Co. Westmeath. The proposal, submitted on 21 April 2026, includes a proprietary wastewater treatment system and a soil‑polishing filter, a new vehicular entrance to the site and a range of associated works such as drainage, landscaping and ancillary services. The council’s decision, recorded under reference 2660193, was made on 20 August 2026 and carries a conditional status, with the decision due on 23 August 2026.

The development is situated on a residential block in the Milltownpass area, a locality that has seen a number of recent planning applications for new dwellings and extensions. The council’s file lists the applicant details as Kenneth Delaney and Jennifer Kelly, with the site address given as Bog Road, Milltownpass, Co. Westmeath. The planning authority has noted that the proposed works will involve the construction of a new dormer house, installation of the wastewater treatment system, provision of a new entrance, and all associated site development works.

The conditional decision indicates that the council has approved the application subject to certain conditions, which are typically related to design, environmental impact, and compliance with local planning policies. The council will monitor the implementation of the works to ensure that the conditions are met. The decision was made in the context of a broader pattern of residential development in the county, which has included approvals for single‑storey flat roof extensions and new dwelling constructions in nearby areas such as Athlone and Mullingar.

The application and decision are part of the council’s ongoing review of housing developments in West County. Residents and interested parties can review the full planning file, including the detailed description of the proposed works and the conditions attached to the decision, on the West County Council website.
