Galway Bay fm newsroom - The county council has turned down a proposal to build new houses in Ballyglunin.
Gerry Fahy has been refused planning permission for 8 houses at Brooklodge Demense.
The council states that it would be an overdevelopment of a restricted site at the edge of a small settlement which has insufficient existing infrastructural services.
Planners also state that it's unclear whether the safe disposal of domestic effluent can be guaranteed on site.
