A Cavan-based building firm has put forward plans for more than 50 new homes in Belturbet. The proposal would bring a sizable batch of housing to the County Cavan town on the River Erne. More than 50 units represent a substantial addition for a settlement of Belturbet's size. The bid will now move through the planning process, where planners will look hard at access and services. Housing pressure across Ireland has pushed councils to weigh schemes like this one quickly, while still checking every detail. Residents would get a chance to comment once the application is formally lodged. Details on the exact site and the mix of homes have not yet been laid out.
