Permission for development which consists of: retention permission is being sought for

A retention application has been lodged with Galway City Council for infrastructure works at a residential site in Rahoon. The proposal seeks retrospective permission for the removal of two septic tanks and percolation areas that previously served two houses, alongside the installation of two connections to the public foul sewer network via a private foul sewer. The development affects Site No. 2 at Mincloon in Rahoon, Galway. The application represents a shift from individual septic systems to connection with the public sewerage infrastructure, a change that typically occurs when mains services become available to an area. Retention permission is required where works have already been completed or substantially carried out without prior planning approval, allowing the local authority to assess whether the development should be regularised. The planning application has been registered as a new case with Galway City Council and will be subject to standard assessment procedures. Further details are available from Galway City Council's planning portal.
