Planning application received: planning permission to construct a slatted shed for the housing of livestock, together with other as

A new planning application has been lodged with Monaghan County Council for a slatted shed intended for livestock housing in Glaslough. The applicant, Alex Waddell of Leek, has submitted the proposal under reference 2660230. The site is located within Glaslough, Co Monaghan.

The application was received on 3 June 2026 and is currently classified as a new application. Monaghan County Council will review the submission and is expected to deliver a decision by 28 July 2026. Until that date the proposal remains under consideration and no formal approval has yet been granted.

Waddell’s plan involves constructing a slatted shed designed specifically for the accommodation of livestock. The documentation does not detail additional structures or ancillary facilities, but it indicates that the shed will be part of a broader arrangement for animal housing on the property. No information is provided regarding the size of the shed, the number of animals it will accommodate, or any environmental mitigation measures.

The council’s planning portal lists the application as “New Application” and provides no further commentary at this stage. As with all local planning applications in Monaghan, the proposal will be subject to assessment against the county’s development plan, relevant zoning regulations, and any applicable environmental considerations. The decision deadline of 28 July 2026 allows for public consultation and potential objections from neighbouring landowners or community groups.

There is no indication that the application has been approved or rejected at this time. Residents in Glaslough who wish to comment on the proposal can do so through the council’s standard planning enquiry process, which will be opened once the decision date approaches.

The application reflects a modest development aimed at improving livestock management facilities within the local rural economy. While it is a small-scale project compared with larger regeneration schemes that have recently attracted media attention in Monaghan, it remains an example of how individual landowners can seek council approval for infrastructure that supports agricultural activities.
