For a Large-scale Residential development comprising a total of 107no. residential units

Jardonelle Limited has submitted an application to Galway County Council for a large‑scale residential development on land in Loughrea, Co Galway. The proposal would see the construction of 107 residential units and the provision of a creche to serve families in the area.

The plan calls for 87 two‑storey dwellings, comprising 74 three‑bedroom houses and 13 four‑bedroom houses. In addition, a split‑level three‑storey apartment block would contain 20 units – seven one‑bedroom apartments and thirteen two‑bedroom apartments. The design includes a dedicated creche site with associated parking, bicycle storage and bin facilities.

Car parking is to be provided at surface level. Dwellings will have in‑curtilage parking spaces, while the creche and apartment block would rely on on‑street parking arrangements. Electric vehicle charge points are planned for residents across the development, together with bicycle storage throughout the site.

Open space provision is a key element of the proposal. The developers intend to create residential communal open areas that include formal play spaces, as well as hard and soft landscaping works to enhance the surroundings. Bin storage facilities will also be incorporated into the design.

While Jardonelle Limited’s application is pending council approval, Galway County Council has been reviewing other matters in the region. In recent weeks the council announced a review of grass‑cutting contracts across eleven estates, with plans to cease outsourcing those services. The council and Department are also reportedly exploring the acquisition of Dunguaire Castle in Kinvara.
