Prospect Hill to get new restaurant
BY KERNAN ANDREWS Prospect Hill looks set to get a new restaurant following the Galway City Council's recent decision to grant planning permission for such an establishment. Steven Harris, Galway, applied to the Galway City Council for permission for alterations to a development at 32 Prospect Hill, approved under two previous planning permissions, for a change of use from a public house to restaurant. The application also seeks permission to include modifications to a previously approved four storey over basement building, all associated services, and external works. The city council has granted the development full permission. Taking into account the city centre location of the premises and the fact a public house has already been permitted, the council considered the proposed change of use to restaurant as acceptable. "As the development contribution and parking requirement share are unchanged," the planning report read, "this permission can be tied back to the previous permission that includes all conditions to be complied with." Prior to commencement of development, details of any proposed private screening associated with the proposed first floor terrace have to be submitted and agreed in writing with the planning authority.

Council refusal for Rahoon development
The Galway City Council has refused planning permission for a residential development in Rahoon as it was to be located on a site reserved as a "public open space" by the council. FHD Developments, Rahoon, applied for permission for a total of 12 two storey three-bedroom semidetached houses and all associated site works at Cnoc An Oir, Rahoon. However there were numerous objections from local residents and some objections included petitions of more than 100 signatures. Residents believed the proposed development would result in an "unacceptable reduction" in public amenity space. They felt a loop road would facilitate joyriders and the proposed houses would screen others and reduce passive surveillance in the interests of home security. The council refused to grant permission to the development as it is proposed for an area which is reserved as "a public open space for the benefit of existing residents" and granting permission "would result in a significant reduction of this space". It was also felt the proposed development would be "seriously injurious to existing residential amenities" and consequently would be contrary to the proposed planning and development of the area. The council also refused permission saying the proposed site of the two easternmost houses, due to their proximity to the rear boundary of the site "would give rise to an incidence of undue overlooking of adjoining lands" and would also not be acceptable with the proposed planning and development of the area.
