Planning application 2660729

A planning application lodged by Marie Therese Delapp at Cregg in Oughterard, Co Galway has been refused by Galway County Council. The proposal, submitted on 12 May 2026, sought permission for a dwelling house together with an attached garage and the installation of a private wastewater treatment system, including all associated works and ancillary services.

The council’s decision was issued on 26 June 2026, ahead of the originally scheduled decision date of 6 July 2026. The application is recorded under reference 2660729 in the county’s planning register. No further details regarding the reasons for refusal were provided in the public record at this time.

The site lies within the rural setting of Cregg, a locality that has seen several recent planning submissions across Galway County. While the council has not released an explanatory statement, the decision code indicates a formal refusal rather than a conditional approval or withdrawal request.

Residents and developers in Oughterard will need to review the council’s planning guidelines if they wish to pursue alternative proposals for the same parcel of land. The refusal may prompt consideration of different building designs or site uses that align more closely with local planning policies, particularly those concerning rural development and environmental management.

The decision is now part of the public record and can be accessed through Galway County Council’s online planning portal. For further information on the application and its outcome, consult the council’s official documentation for reference 2660729.
