Appeal to An Bord Pleanala over refused housing development in Headford

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

The project, led by Callanan & Walsh Construction, would have seen 16 homes built near the existing Eallagh estate.

County planners rejected the application last month, finding the land earmarked is not suitably zoned.

They also noted the potential for the development to negatively impact on the N84 national road.

An appeal has now been lodged with An Bord Pleanala, with a decision due in June.
