The Súgán was granted planning permission for change of use from residential back to a community building (museum) on 31/03/2022 (Cork County Council Ref 22/04205). The disabled access and fire safety certificates were issued subsequently.

The building will be restored, as far as possible, to its original state, in line with its appearance in 1904. It will be recreated as a Victorian schoolhouse, featuring a vaulted timber ceiling, timber wainscoting, and top-opening windows, as shown in photos from the period. Exterior roof barges and plaster moulding will also be restored.

Tugadh cead pleanála don Súgán ar 31/03/2022 chun úsáid a athrú ó fhoirgneamh cónaithe go foirgneamh pobail (músaem) ar 31/03/2022 (Tag Comhairle Contae Chorcaí 22/04205). Eisíodh na deimhnithe rochtana do dhaoine faoi mhíchumas agus sábháilteacht dóiteáin ina dhiaidh sin.

Déanfar an foirgneamh a athchóiriú, chomh fada agus is féidir, go dtí a bhun-staid, ag teacht lena chuma i 1904. Déanfar é a athchruthú mar theach scoile Victeoiriach, ina mbeidh síleáil adhmaid boghtach, sciúradh adhmaid, agus fuinneoga barroscailte, mar a léirítear i ngrianghraif ón tréimhse sin. Déanfar báirsí dín taobh amuigh agus múnlú plástair a athchóiriú freisin.
