New single-storey house and garage with new farm entrance

Brian Dunne has submitted a planning application to Westmeath County Council for the construction of a new single‑storey dwelling house and an accompanying domestic garage on land at Clonlost, Killucan, near Mullingar. The proposal also calls for upgrading the existing agricultural entrance to a proper vehicular access point, installing a new septic tank and a percolation area for wastewater treatment, together with all associated ancillary site services.

The application was received by the council on 1 May 2026 under reference number 2660225. A conditional decision was issued, with the council setting a deadline of 25 June 2026 for the final determination. The council subsequently made its decision on that date, approving the proposal subject to the conditions outlined in the planning file.

The plan outlines the construction of a single‑storey dwelling and a domestic garage, the conversion of an agricultural entrance into a vehicular entryway, and the installation of a septic system with a percolation area. No further details regarding design or cost were provided in the application documents.

Residents of Killucan and the surrounding Mullingar area will see a new residential development on Clonlost land, accompanied by infrastructure improvements to support the site’s wastewater management and access requirements. The council’s decision is expected to be implemented following the fulfilment of any stipulated conditions.
