Planning conditional: development that will consist of a new single storey extension to the side/rear with minor alteratio

West County Council has granted conditional planning permission for a new single‑storey extension to the side or rear of the property at 22 Carra Grove in Mullingar, Co West Mouth. The owners, Kieran and Sheila Slevin, submitted the application in early 2024 and the council has approved the proposal subject to a number of conditions. The extension will be a modest addition to the existing dwelling, with minor alterations to the façade and roofline to ensure it is in keeping with the surrounding residential area. The council’s decision, recorded in the planning portal, requires the developers to comply with the stipulated conditions, including setbacks, landscaping and the use of appropriate building materials. The Slevins have said they intend to use the new space for a family room and additional storage, and that the design will respect the character of the neighbourhood. The approval is part of the council’s ongoing effort to manage growth in Mullingar while preserving the town’s architectural heritage. The decision was published on the council’s website on 15 March 2024. The council will review construction drawings before work starts, and Slevins have committed to submitting a detailed design package. The extension is not expected to impact neighbouring properties or local street view. For more details, see the West County Council planning portal.
