Planning permission for 197 residential units in Co Galway overturned in High Court

The High Court has overturned a Bord Pleanála "fast track" strategic housing approval for a 197 residential unit development in Bearna, Co Galway.

Mr Justice Garrett Simons said the board acted outside its powers when it granted permission for the development to Burkeway Homes on an 18 acre site 6.5km from Galway city centre.
