Planning permission is being sought for a residential development of two apartment blocks near the University of Galway.
An application by Shawder Ltd is for the demolition of a house and shed at 99 Upper Newcastle Road, and two build two apartment blocks on the site.
The two storey and four storey buildings will provide 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.
A planning report for the application states that it is proposed to provide seven off street car parking spaces for the apartment complex, along with bicycle storage areas.
A decision on this planning application is due from Galway City Council by September 17 of this year.
