For temporary planning permission ( 5 yr ) to Provide hardstanding area

The Cavan Canoe Club has lodged an application for temporary planning permission to create a hardstanding area at Ballinamore Road in Derryginny, Ballyconnell. The club seeks approval for a site measuring roughly 14 metres by 16 metres, where it intends to erect three steel containers fitted with fencing and gates. The purpose of the development is to provide secure storage for kayaking equipment used by club members.

The application was submitted to Cavan County Council on 8 May 2026. The council’s planning department set a decision date of 2 July 2026, which has now passed. On that day the council issued a conditional decision, indicating that the proposal meets the necessary criteria but may require certain conditions to be met before construction can proceed.

The proposed hardstanding area will be located on Ballinamore Road in the Derryginny part of Ballyconnell, within County Cavan. The club has not indicated any plans for additional structures or changes to surrounding land use beyond the containers and associated fencing.

While the council’s decision is conditional, it represents a step forward for the canoeing community in the area, potentially improving access to equipment storage and supporting local sporting activity. Further details on the conditions attached to the approval will be released by the council once they are finalised.
