Retention of existing house, garage and storage shed at Drumbaun

Margaret George Hannan and her husband George have sought retention permission from Mayo County Council for a dwelling house, a garage and a storage shed situated on Drumbaun in Ballyhaunis. The application, filed under reference 2660334, was received by the council on 27 April 2026 and is classified as a retention application – indicating that the structures already exist on the site and the Hannan couple are now requesting formal planning approval for them.

The submission included detailed drawings of the existing buildings along with plans for associated site works and services. The council’s decision, issued on 12 June 2026, was conditional in nature, meaning that while permission has been granted, certain conditions must be met before the structures can remain as they are. The decision deadline had originally been set for 21 June 2026.

The Hannan application covers the dwelling house, the garage and the storage shed at the Drumbaun address in Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo. No further development or alterations beyond those already present were proposed. The council’s approval allows the existing buildings to remain on the site subject to compliance with the conditions outlined in the decision.
