Galway Bay fm newsroom - Planners have rejected proposals for new sports facilities in Ballintemple, Castlegar.
The plan led by Liam Mulryan set out to develop up to five playing pitches, a clubhouse with dressing rooms and entrance/car parking facilities.
In turning down the proposal, planners stated the development would interfere with the safety and freeflow of traffic along the R339.
Planners also noted the development's proximity to residential areas stating it could depreciate the value of property in the vicinity.
