For the construction of synthetic playing pitch with perimeter fencing & floodlighting

Kilkerrin Community Council has applied to Galway County Council for permission to build a synthetic playing pitch, complete with perimeter fencing and floodlighting, at Tullaghaun in Kilkerrin (postcode H53V2V1). The application, reference 2660776, was received on 15 May 2026 and was scheduled for a decision by 2 September 2026. The council issued a conditional decision on 28 August 2026, allowing the development to proceed subject to the conditions set out in the planning file.

The proposal includes all associated site development works required to establish the pitch and its facilities. The decision was made by the Galway County Council planning authority, which has also recently dealt with other local development matters in the county, such as the demolition and replacement of a steel storage shed in Ballywataire, Dunmore, and the construction of a detached single‑storey home office/studio in Frenchfort, Oranmore.

The conditional approval means that the council has identified specific conditions that the council must meet before the pitch can be built. These conditions are detailed in the planning file and will guide the council’s oversight of the project.

For full details of the application and the council’s decision, see the Galway County Council planning file 2660776.
