Roscommon County Council will this month decide on the proposed expansion to a major regional tourism attraction.
Bay Sports on the Hodson Bay outside of Athlone has applied for permission to construct several new marquees along with new inflatable's on the bay.
The 9 proposed marquees include a reception and wetsuit collection area, changing rooms, observation area and a dinning and gift shop area.
Plans also include prefab office structures, outdoor showers and the realignment of the boundary.
The application has been the source of objections from some in the local community who had highlighted access issues with the popular beach and swimming point on Lough Ree.
Roscommon County Planners will decide on the issue later this month following a delay to the process with the request of further information from the applicant.
