Creggs Village, Co. Galway

This is a substantial c. 7-acre development site positioned on the edge of Creggs village, with extensive road frontage and the village`s school, sporting facilities and everyday amenities close by.

The lands previously formed part of a larger c. 7.5 acre holding which received planning permission from Galway County Council under Planning Reference 08/1565 for a residential development of 18 homes. The approved scheme provided for 4 two-storey semi-detached houses and 14 detached dormer-style houses, together with a wastewater treatment plant, percolation area, public open space and associated site works.

Since that permission was granted, approximately half an acre containing an existing dwelling has been separated from the original holding. The property now being offered for sale comprises approximately 7 acres, as outlined on the aerial photograph.

The previous permission has expired and any new development will require a fresh planning application. However, the planning history is important. It confirms that Galway County Council previously considered the lands suitable for a residential scheme of meaningful scale. The original site layout, house designs, engineering proposals and planning documents are available and should provide a useful starting point for a purchaser assessing a new development.

This is not an isolated rural parcel hoping to become a development site. It sits beside an established village, within a settled residential area and close to an active primary school and some of the strongest community sporting facilities in the region.

Creggs is a busy border village serving communities across both Galway and Roscommon. Creggs National School is approximately 16 km from Roscommon town and provides mainstream and special education classes, an after-school service, a floodlit Astroturf pitch, gymnasium/community hall and extensive outdoor facilities.

Creggs Rugby Club is a major local amenity, with three grass pitches, an all-weather pitch, gymnasium, community rooms and a fully lit 950-metre walking track. These are real facilities already in place and actively used by families from across the wider area.

Roscommon town is approximately 15 km away, giving convenient access to secondary schools, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, medical services, Roscommon University Hospital and the Dublin Westport rail line. Athlone is approximately 37 km away, while Galway City is approximately 64 km from Creggs. This places the village within practical commuting distance of three important employment and service centres.

For a developer, builder, housing body or investor looking for a sizeable residential opportunity in East Galway, this is a site that deserves serious consideration. The landholding is substantial, the village location is established and the previous permission demonstrates a clear history of residential development on the site.

There is room here to create something worthwhile: a well-planned development of family homes in a village with a school, proper sporting facilities, a strong community and good connections to Roscommon, Athlone and Galway.
