New private dwelling house with garage and waste water treatment system
Two separate residential development proposals have been lodged with Galway County Council in recent planning matters.
In the Tuam area, David and Caitlin Hansberry have put forward plans to construct a new private dwelling house at Dangan Oughter, Barnaderg. The proposed development includes a garage and store building, with a dedicated wastewater treatment system to service the property. The application encompasses all necessary site works required to fully service the new residence.
Meanwhile, in the Monivea locality, Ronan Bilbow and Rachel Collins submitted a similar proposal for a new house at Caherlissakill. Their development plan also featured a garage and store, alongside a waste water treatment system and associated site works. However, this application faced a different outcome, with Galway County Council refusing permission in May 2026.
Both proposals reflect broader rural housing needs across County Galway, with applicants seeking to establish new family homes complete with ancillary structures and independent wastewater infrastructure. The contrasting outcomes highlight how individual planning assessments can vary based on site-specific circumstances and compliance with local development standards.
