Galway County Council has granted planning permission for the construction of an apartment complex in Oranmore near the Town Centre shopping centre.
Kenny Developments Contracting Limiter has been given the green light for a residential development of 12 apartments at Millplot, Oranmore, on Station Road.
The site currently contains a derelict house and sheds, which would be demolished.
The housing will comprise 2 two-bed ground-floor apartments, 4 one-bed ground-floor apartments and 6 three-bed duplex units.
The county council rejected plans by Kenny Developments for 14 apartments in two buildings on this site in 2023.
The council cited concerns at the time about flood risk, surface water disposal, and the scale of the proposal.
The council inspector said that these concerns had been addressed in the new plans, which leave the areas deemed at greatest flood risk as green space.
Planning permission for the housing development was granted by the county council with 24 standard conditions attached.
