Planning permission is being sought for the construction of 28 apartments in three blocks in the Letteragh area of Galway City.
An application has been made by Callanan & Walsh Construction to demolish a vacant guesthouse fronting onto the Letteragh Road, along with two shed/workshop buildings adjacent to it.
In their place the developer is seeking approval to build three apartment blocks, one 2-storey building and two 3-storey buildings.
These will contain a total of 28 one and two bed apartments and duplex units.
In order to comply with Part V Planning requirements, it has been agreed in principle that five of these apartments would be provided to the city council for social or affordable housing.
Other works involved in the project will include the provision of a new footpath along the Letteragh Road connecting to existing footpaths.
The development will have 28 car parking spaces, six of which will be outfitted with electric vehicle charging points, along with 66 bicycle parking spaces.
A decision on this planning application is due from Galway City Council by July 11.
