Plans progressing for six new apartments at Point Road in Dundalk

Plans are progressing for a development at the Point Road in Dundalk that would see six new apartments built, should it get the go ahead.

Clovelly Developments Limited applied to Louth County Council in November 2022 for planning permission for a development at 64 and 66 Point Road, Dundalk, that would see the demolition of an existing two storey building, comprising retail unit at ground floor level and habitable living accommodation over same, as well as an adjoining single storey derelict dwelling house and its outbuildings.

The application sought permission to construct a three storey residential building, comprising a one bed, and a two bed apartment at ground floor level, as well as three, two bed duplex apartments at first and second floor level. It also sought to construct a single storey residential building comprising two, one bed apartments at the rear of the site.

Louth County Council sought further information on the planned development in December 2022. Significant further information was received by the local planning authority on 16 June, which included amendments to the proposed design consisting of boundary and landscaping considerations to include the construction of a bicycle shelter along with the omission of one residential unit and elevational changes to the apartment block at the front of the site.

A decision is now due on the application by 13 July 2023.
