Garage conversion and two-storey side extension with one-bedroom granny flat

Westmeath County Council has refused a planning application submitted by Tomas Slionys of 67 Newlands in Mullingar. The applicant had proposed converting the existing garage into a habitable living space and adding a two‑storey extension to the north‑east side of his house. The new extension would include a one‑bedroom granny flat with its own entrance, together with associated site works.

The application was received by the council on 16 April 2026 and was due for decision on 10 June 2026. After review, the council issued a refusal notice on that date, citing the decision code REFUSED. The applicant’s plans were therefore not approved at this time.

For full details of the application and the council’s decision, see Westmeath County Council planning file 2660185.
