'''Galway, Ireland''' 

Galway County Council have created an Urban Framework Plan for the [[Townland|townlands]] of Garraun North and South, located west of [[Oranmore]], home to [[Oranmore railway station]] and is less than 10km (6.2 miles) from [[Galway]] city centre. The plan describes Garraun as a "Flagship development for County Galway, setting new standards in sustainable contemporary living, and with excellent access to public transport."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Garraun Urban Framework Plan |url=https://www.galway.ie/en/media/Garraun%20Framework_1.pdf |website=Galway.ie }}</ref> 

The plan includes an expansion of the station's car park to two stories and green space above, which will roll down into a public park. The plan describes three-storey mixed use buildings on the main road and lots of residential space. South of the railway station, an "EcoPark" is planned.
