New house and garage with septic tank at Laragh, Streamstown

John McCormack has lodged a planning application with Westmeath County Council for the construction of a new dwelling on land in Laragh, Streamstown, near Mullingar. The proposal includes a single‑storey house, a domestic garage and a septic tank percolation area, together with a new road entrance and ancillary site works such as drainage and access roads. The application, reference 2660224, was received by the council on 30 April 2026 and is currently in the system awaiting an initial review. A decision is scheduled for 24 June 2026, at which point it will be marked as CONDITIONAL if approved.

Laragh lies within the civil parish of Streamstown in County Westmeath, close to the town of Mullingar. The proposed site is a rural parcel that would see a new residential development added to the area. Mr McCormack has not yet received any public comment or objections, and no further details about the design or size of the house have been released by the council.

The planning file indicates that the applicant intends to install a septic tank system compliant with local environmental regulations, and that the road entrance will provide direct access from the main lane. The council’s decision process will consider compliance with zoning, environmental impact and infrastructure capacity before granting permission.
