For the installation of a single biomass boiler enclosure located to the south west of

On 1 July 2026 Cavan County Council granted conditional approval for a planning application submitted by the Electricity Transmission Board of Cavan & Monaghan (Cavan & Monaghan ETB). The applicant seeks permission to install a single biomass boiler enclosure on its site at Breifne College, Cootehill Road in Cullies, Co. Cavan (H12 PX51). The proposed structure would be positioned to the south‑west of the existing campus buildings.

The application was lodged with the council on 8 May 2026 and a decision was due by 2 July 2026. The council’s decision, recorded under reference 2660237, carries a CONDITIONAL status, meaning that the approval is subject to certain conditions being met before construction can commence. No further details of those conditions were disclosed in the brief.

Cavan & Monaghan ETB has not yet indicated when it intends to begin work on the enclosure. The project falls within the council’s broader remit for energy infrastructure developments across County Cavan, which also includes a range of other planning applications such as alterations to existing buildings and new construction proposals in nearby towns.

The decision reflects the council’s ongoing efforts to support local renewable energy initiatives while balancing environmental and community concerns. As with all planning decisions, the outcome will be published on the council’s website and is available for public scrutiny under the Planning Act.
