Appeal to An Bord Pleanala over refusal of housing development in Loughrea

Galway Bay fm newsroom - An appeal has been lodged with An Bord Pleanala against the refusal of a housing development in Loughrea.

MPD Property Developments had applied for permission to build 8 homes at the existing Ard na Gaoithe estate at Mount Pleasant.

The units - a mix of semi-detached and detached four-bed homes - would have been in lieu of 4 large detached homes previously granted permission.

County planners rejected the application in December - and an appeal has now been lodged with An Bord Pleanala.
