Planning application 2697

A planning application has been lodged with Galway County Council for a site in Cashla, Athenry. The applicants, Ignatius and Ursula O Brien, have requested that the existing private garage or store be converted into a facility that will house laundry equipment, a gym and storage space, together with all associated site works.

The council’s file of changes indicates that the proposal involves re‑configuring the current structure to accommodate these new uses. The application was received on 5 May 2026 and the council has issued a conditional decision, which was formally decided on 25 June 2026, with the original decision deadline set for 29 June 2026.

The conditional status means that the development will proceed only if certain conditions are met, as outlined in the council’s decision. No further details of those conditions have been released at this time.

Residents and local businesses can view the full application and any related documentation on the Galway County Council planning portal. For more information, see the council’s official filing for reference 2697.
