A planned 125 residential units and childcare facility for Kinnegad is on appeal to An Comisiun Pleanala.
A compromise is needed for a large scale residential development for Westmeath.
Labour Councillor for Kinnegad Denis Leonard is making the point over a planned 125 residental units and a childcare facility on Kinnegad's Killucan Road.
He's among over 20 objections lodged to the local authority against the development alongside residents in nearby housing estate Manorfield.
Traffic, safety concerns and a lack of community consultation on the project are listed as concerns, with an appeal submitted to An Comisiun Pleanala.
Councillor Leonard says he's hopeful that both sides can come to an agreement:
