Plans for almost 100 homes in Oranmore rejected

Plans to build almost 100 homes in Oranmore have been rejected by county planners.

The project, led by Corestone 16 Ltd, would have seen 91 units constructed on a site on the Coast Road.

Galway County Council received a number of submissions on the proposal - including a detailed submission from Galway Cycling Campaign.

Planners have now rejected the plans - primarily citing concerns over the design, scale and car dominated layout of the development.
