And complete a) alterations to all elevations

Aisling Gormally and Ian Casey have lodged a new planning application with Galway County Council for a property at Baile Uí Chuirc Thiar, Coill Bhruachláin. The application, reference 24/60919, seeks permission for a range of alterations. The applicants request changes to all elevations of the dwelling, modifications to the proposed balcony, and the removal of a previously proposed external walkway. They also ask for the removal of an external staircase, alterations to the footprint of the dwellinghouse, and all associated works. The application was received on 15 May 2026 and a decision is expected by 9 July 2026.

The council’s planning file (reference 2660777) lists the application as a new one, with the status pending review. While the application concerns a private residence, the broader context of local development includes recent approvals for improvements at a Galway swimming spot, which will see new toilets and car parks. However, the swimming spot project is unrelated to the Gormally‑Casey application.

The decision will determine whether the proposed changes to the property’s elevations, balcony, walkway, staircase, and footprint can proceed. Residents and local planning officers will be notified once the council reaches a conclusion. For further details, see the original source at Galway County Council planning file 2660777.
