Planning conditional: for a Large-Scale Residential Development. The application is being made under the provisions of the

Athenry Luxury Housing Developments Ltd has applied to Galway County Council for a large‑scale residential development on the site at Raheen, Ballygarraun North and Ballygarraun South in Athenry, Co Galway. The application, reference 2661048, was received on 24 June 2026 and the council’s decision was due by 18 August 2026. On that date the council issued a decision code of CONDITIONAL.

The conditional approval is tied to the grant of outline permission (Ref 24‑348). In other words, the council will only give full planning permission once the outline permission is secured. The decision notes that the works would consist of the construction of a dwelling, but the details of the scale of the development are not yet finalised pending the outline stage.

The applicant, Athenry Luxury Housing Developments Ltd, is based in Athenry and has proposed a large‑scale residential scheme on the specified site. The council’s decision reflects the need for further detail before a full development plan can be approved. The conditional status means that the council will review the outline permission before moving forward with the detailed planning application.

The decision was made on 18 August 2026, the same day the council confirmed the conditional status. The council has indicated that the final approval will be contingent on the outline permission being granted, after which the developer will be able to submit a full development plan for review.
