Planning refusal for a new housing development in Roscommon has been appealed to the higher planning authority.
TH Contractors had sought to build 20 homes at Carrownageelaun in Tulsk but were refused permission by Roscommon County planners.
The homes consisted of 8 two bed bungalows, 4 three bedroom single storey homes, 6 three bed two storey houses and 2 four bed units.
The applicants stated the entrance to the new development would be through the adjoining Meadowbrook Estate, which led to a number of submissions from local residents.
They highlighted concerns over traffic levels and pedestrian safety in the Estate along with issues with a lack of services in the village.
Planners refused the application under three areas such the Planning Authority's dissatisfaction over evidence to demonstrate if there is an adequate supply of potable water available for the development.
TH Contractors Ltd have now appealed that decision to An Bord Pleanála.
