A planning appeal has been lodged against the rejection of a residential development in Galway City Centre.
Shawder Ltd sought approval for the demolition of a house and shed at 99 Upper Newcastle Road, and to build two apartment blocks on the site.
The city council refused planning permission in September, stating that the plans included an excessive amount of one-bed units, and that the scale and height of the proposal was excessive for the area.
That decision has now been appealed to An Bord Pleanála, which is due to make a decision on the case by February 23 of 2024.
The two storey and four storey buildings would have contained a total of 10 one-bedroom apartments and 8 two-bedroom apartments.
The larger of the two buildings, Block A would contain 14 apartments, with the remaining 4 units located in the smaller Block B.
