Galway County Council has granted planning approval for a residential development of 26 houses in Kinvara.
Greengrass Developments has been given the green light for the construction of a housing estate on a greenfield site at Cartron, on the south side of the village.
The housing in the planned estate will mostly be semi-detached units, with a smaller number of detached and terraced houses also.
Six two-bedroom terraced houses are to be transferred to the county council to comply with Part V planning requirements for the provision of social and affordable housing.
Planning permission was granted by Galway County Council with 36 conditions attached. The developer must pay a contribution of €107,110.50 towards the provision of public services facilitating the estate.
The original plans had been for 27 units, however the council ordered two semi-detached houses replaced with a single detached house, and part of the footprint added to the estate’s public open space.
