Plans for the new build Loughrea estate by Jardonelle Limited were squashed by county planners over several issues.
The 107 new homes - which would be situated alongside existing homes in Baunoge - were to be a mix of one-bed, two-bed, three-bed and four bedroom homes.
There were various reasons why the plans were refused with the main points including: The impact on its surrounding environment; the lack of standard in the road design in the area and also the lack of open space.
