Retention of house extension with new septic treatment system

Sharon Mundy and Vaida Kurtinyte, acting as executors to the estate of the late Wolfgang Gentzsch, have sought permission from Cavan County Council to keep a house extension that they already constructed at Drummullig near Butler’s Bridge. The application also proposes installing a new wastewater treatment system with an accompanying percolation area and making changes to the site boundary.

The council received the application on 13 May 2026, with a decision deadline of 7 July 2026. On 6 July 2026 it issued a conditional approval, allowing the extension to remain while the new treatment system is installed and the boundary adjustments are carried out. The decision code for the case is “CONDITIONAL” and the reference number is 2660251.

The site address listed in the planning file is Drummullig, Butler’s Bridge, Co Cavan, H12 H9V9. The application falls under the council’s authority to manage alterations to dwellings and associated infrastructure within the county.

This decision follows a series of recent retention approvals across Cavan, including changes to floor plans and elevations in other villages such as Ardloughter and Bailieborough. While the council has not yet released detailed specifications for the wastewater system, the conditional approval indicates that the proposed percolation area will meet local environmental standards.

For further details consult the Cavan County Council planning file (Reference 2660251).
