An appeal's been lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanála over the refusal of a biogas plant in Ballinasloe.
The project, led by CycleØ IE Limited, would be based on a site at Glenloughaun, several kilometres to the south of Ballinasloe town.
The anaerobic digestion facility prompted a high level of local submissions expressing opposition to the plans.
County planners last month refused permission on several grounds - including unsuitability of the road network and the potential consequences of a slurry spill.
An appeal's now been lodged with An Coimisiún Pleanála with a decision expected before the end of the year.
