New one-and-a-half storey house with garage at Blackmiles, Multyfarnham

James Kane has applied to build a one‑and‑a‑half storey dwelling of about 286 square metres at Blackmiles, Multyfarnham in Co Westmeath. The proposal includes an attached garage of roughly 32 square metres and a new domestic entrance onto the public road. It also seeks permission for a packaged wastewater treatment system and a percolation area to manage drainage.

The planning application was submitted on 12 May 2026 under reference 2614. Westmeath County Council reviewed the proposal and, on 6 July 2026, issued a conditional decision granting approval subject to the conditions set out in the council’s report. The applicant is Mr James Kane, with architect/agent Ivo Avramov representing the project.

The site address is Blackmiles, Multyfarnham, Co Westmeath. The council’s decision code is CONDITIONAL and the application was expected to be decided by 6 July 2026, which it has now been.

While a separate local news report mentioned James Kane’s intention to convert a residential property at Blackmiles into a commercial yard for heavy vehicles and farm machinery, that proposal appears distinct from the dwelling application. The council’s decision only covers the house, garage and associated infrastructure.

Residents of Multyfarnham can view the full planning file on the Westmeath County Council website under reference 2614 to see the detailed conditions attached to the approval.
