Kevin & Dervilla Teefey have lodged a planning application with Roscommon County Council for the construction of a new domestic dwelling and an attached garage on Carrowmore in Croghan, near Boyle. The proposal also includes a wastewater treatment system and a percolation area to manage stormwater runoff, together with all ancillary site development works required for the project.

The council received the application on 14 April 2026 and has issued a conditional decision code. A formal decision was made on 8 June 2026, confirming that the proposal meets the necessary planning criteria. The application is described as a straightforward residential development, with no additional complexities noted in the council file.
