Two planning appeals could alter plans for over 120 homes in Ennis.
It comes as concerns have been raised over anti-social behaviour, flooding and wastewater capacity.
The first development to clear the council stage of the planning hurdle was Custy Construction LTD and John Talty Construction LTDs joint bid to build 55 new homes in the townlands of Ballymaley and Ballycorey on the Gort Road.
The plans involve a mixture of four and three-bed homes and promise to deliver up to 11 social or affordable houses.
A North Clare Engineer, however, has questioned the wastewater capacity at the proposed site along with the availability of certified facilities for construction and demolition waste.
Kilfenora resident Michael Duffy has stated in his submission that “this planning application cannot progress until the above matters have been resolved.”
On the outskirts of Ennis town, meanwhile, two residents associations have lodged objections to Datcha Construction’s plans for a 74-unit housing estate in Toberteascain.
The Abbeyville Residents Group, which comprises 98 members have signed a document stating the development would create unacceptable safety and security risks, and conflict with design and crime prevention principles.
More than 90 residents from the Abbey Court Housing Estate have also lodged an objection, stating the proposed pedestrian link would lead to both anti-social behaviour and road safety issues.
In correspendence with An Coimisúin Pleanála, however the Abbey Court and Abbey Ville Residents say they’re in discussions with the developer and builder in relation to the development and that in the event an agreement is reached, they reserve the right to withdraw their appeal accordingly.
An Coimisiún Pleanála will make a decision on both cases by July 6th.
