New bungalow dwelling house with entrance and boundary fence

Eamon O'Flaherty has submitted a planning application to Longford County Council for the construction of a bungalow at Drumanure, Abbeyshrule, Co. Longford. The proposal, reference 2660116, includes a site entrance, a boundary fence and connections to existing public services such as water and electricity. The application was received on 11 April 2026 and the council issued a decision on 25 May 2026, with a conditional approval and a decision due date of 5 June 2026. The conditional status means that the applicant must meet certain conditions before construction can commence. The council has not yet confirmed the exact start date for the works. The development is part of the council’s ongoing planning process for the area and will be subject to the usual environmental and design assessments. In other news, Longford County Council is set to launch a new social media campaign, “Love Life Love Longford”, next week to highlight positive stories in the county. The campaign was originally proposed by Fine Gael Councillor Peggy Nolan and will be managed by the council’s communications team. For further details, see the council’s planning file 2660116.
