Planning in Galway

Planning in Galway is the responsibility of Galway County Council (and Galway City Council within city limits). Garden rooms up to 25 sqm are generally exempt where conditions are met; new dwellings and separately let units need full planning. Galway's scenic and Gaeltacht areas can carry extra considerations, and we design with those in mind from the outset.

Artisan Coffee Bar Pod — County Galway
Coffee Bar PodCounty GalwayAugust 2025

Artisan Coffee Bar Pod

A fully fitted artisan coffee bar pod with premium espresso machine, wooden shelving, and warm ambient lighting — now trading as a standalone café.

The owner had always dreamed of running her own small coffee business but couldn't justify the rent of a town-centre unit. We designed a fully fitted coffee bar pod she could operate from her own land — compact, efficient, and unmistakably hers. The pod was delivered turnkey, with a commercial espresso machine point, under-counter refrigeration, and warm timber shelving designed to showcase the pastries. Within two weeks of installation she was serving her first customers. The pod's proportions and lighting make it a destination in its own right, and it's become a real landmark in the local community.

Capsule & Pod Batch — Dublin & Galway

A batch of capsule and modular pod units built in our factory and prepared for installation across three sites — one in Dublin and two in Galway. The photos show the build at every stage, from bare steel frame to a branded, finished unit ready to ship.

This is the side of New Chapter Homes most customers never see — the factory floor, where the real work happens long before a unit ever reaches a site. These three units are part of a single order heading to three locations: one in Dublin and two in Galway. The first photo shows the build at its skeleton stage — a galvanised light-gauge steel frame erected on the floor platform, the walls and partitions already taking shape. Every stud, every joint, every service run is measured and fixed under factory conditions, away from wind, rain and the delays that dog traditional sites. The second photo captures a finished pod loaded and strapped to its transport flatbed, ready to roll out of the warehouse doors. The third shows a completed, branded capsule — timber-finish shell, integrated LED perimeter lighting and the New Chapter Homes mark applied — standing alongside a second unit in the same batch. Building this way is what lets us promise speed on site without ever compromising on finish. By the time these units leave the factory they are structurally complete, weather-tight and signed off. What arrives in Dublin and Galway is not a building site — it's a home, ready to be lifted into place and connected in hours.
