Galway Bay fm newsroom – Galway City Council is to lodge an appeal this week to the higher planning authority in relation to Carrowbrowne halting site.
The County Council refused the City Council permission to keep using the Carrowbrowne site as a 15-bay halting site for a further two years.
The County Council gave three reasons for the refusal of the City Council’s application.
It says if it granted further permission, it would contravene a condition of previous planning permission.
This previous condition stated that the use of the site as a halting site would permanently cease, and the land would be re-instated.
It says the site poses a public safety danger due to additional traffic generated on an unimproved section of the N84.
The County Council also said the location of the site would result in haphazard, disorderly development.
The City Council is to lodge an appeal with An Bord Pleanala in the coming week.
