Plans for more than 150 new homes in Knocknacarra have been refused due to potential conflict with the Galway Ring Road.
Cairn Homes Properties Limited has sought to build a mixed development of 112 houses and 43 apartments at Ballymoneen Road.
The development would be based at a site near the existing Fana Buí estate.
But city planners have now rejected the plans – because it borders the planned route of the Galway Ring Road and could impact on its future delivery.
