New bungalow and garage built on Racecourse Road, Loughrea

Mr John Martyn has applied to build a new single‑storey bungalow on Racecourse Road in Loughrea, together with a domestic garage and a range of site works. The proposal includes a wastewater treatment plant, a percolation area and the formation of a new entrance to the site, along with all associated drainage and ancillary works.

The application was submitted to Galway County Council on 20 April 2026 under reference 2660599. A decision was expected by 14 June 2026, but the council issued its ruling two days earlier, on 12 June 2026, refusing the proposal.

The refusal means that Mr Martyn will not be able to proceed with the construction of the bungalow and garage at the Carrowmore site on Racecourse Road. The decision was made by the council’s planning authority in accordance with local development guidelines.

For further details, see Galway County Council planning file 2660599.
