Roof style change to rear extension of approved build

Brendan and Donna Curwin of Derawley in Drumlish have applied to Longford County Council to alter the roof style on the rear extension of their house. The extension was originally approved under planning reference 2560162. The new application, reference 2660123, was lodged on 16 April 2026 and the council issued a conditional decision on 26 May 2026, with the decision due by 10 June 2026. The change involves a modification to the roof design of the rear extension, a detail that the council has accepted on a conditional basis. The decision code is listed as CONDITIONAL in the council’s planning register.

The council’s decision comes amid a broader focus on housing supply in County Longford. In January 2026 the authority announced a 2026 housing plan that aims to deliver new social homes, maintain existing ones and accelerate the return of vacant properties to use. The council is working with approved housing bodies and the private sector to increase the supply of quality, sustainable homes and to build communities that meet local needs.
