County council turns down plans for Ballyglunin houses

Galway Bay fm newsroom – The county council has turned down a proposal to build new houses in Ballyglunin. Gerry Fahy has been refused planning permission for 8 houses at Brooklodge Demense. The council states that it would be an overdevelopment of a restricted site at the edge of a small settlement which has insufficient existing infrastructural services. Planners also state that it's unclear whether the safe disposal of domestic effluent can be guaranteed on site.
