Plans for Longford holiday lodges under consideration

Longford County Council's planning office has been approached by local entrepreneurs about the development of a tourism centre at Foygh, Kenagh, Longford.

Alan and John Rowan, the brothers behind Tuff Homes and Tuff Pods the timber frame passive Scandinavian design houses, made a pre-planning approach to planners about a planning application on February 12 for the tourism development.

The plans for the holiday lodge site include nine three-bedroom lodges, four two-bed lodges, a managers office and laundry.

The development will include plant room and laundry, site entrance, internal road and footpaths, lighting, play area, boundary fence, wastewater treatment system, percolation area and all ancillary site works.

Longford County Council planners have indicated that once the planning process commences they should reach a decision by early April.
