Galway City Council has granted planning permission for a residential development of 36 houses and apartments on the Headford Road.
The application by Sweetbay Ltd is for 2 three-storey and two part two-storey, part three-storey buildings at Tornóg, Ballinfoile, on the outskirts of the city.
These will contain 14 two-bed and 16 three-bed apartments. The housing development will also include 6 three-bed houses and a creche.
Parking in the housing development will comprise 56 car parking spaces, and 112 bicycle spaces.
Planning permission was granted by the city council with a total of six conditions attached. A contribution of €310,094 towards the provision of public services for the area must be paid by the developer.
There is also currently a live application by the same developer for an assisted living apartment complex to the south of this housing estate.
This development would comprise a four storey over undercroft apartment building, with 45 units in total.
A decision on this planning application is due to be delivered by the city council by mid-September after further information was requested.
