BREAKING: Planning lodged for over 50 new houses in local Tipperary town
54 new houses are due to be built in Templemore
Planning permission has been lodged with the Tipperary County Council for 56 new houses in Templemore.
The houses will be a mix of two-bed, three-bed, and four-bed houses.
Speaking on the announcement, Tipperary North TD Michael Lowry expressed his delight with the news, stating that new housing is well needed in the town, and that he is looking forward to seeing Templemore flourish further as a result.
“I am delighted to confirm that Sola Energy Solutions and Cobbs Development Ltd have lodged a planning application for 56 new houses on the Clonmore Road,” he said.
“This private estate will consist of high quality two, three and four bedroom A rated homes. This is the first private estate in 20 years to be built in the town.
“Paul and Catherine O’Brien are to be complimented on this initiative and investment, which is a vote of confidence in the town and very significant for the future of Templemore.
“Housing is the biggest challenge facing our country. Far too many families across Tipperary are impacted with this housing crisis. Building more homes to meet demand is a priority.
“The Government has been focused on clearing the blockages to housing. Speeding up the planning process. Rezoning land. Investing in water infrastructure, increasing capacity in our electricity grids. It is actions such as this that will allow estates to be built across Tipperary.
“It is important that we provide balanced housing opportunities. In this regard I welcome the fact that Tipperary County Council are well advanced in the construction of 45 new social houses in Templemore. These houses will be available for occupancy to applicants on the housing list. The homes will be allocated from August this year and up to the middle of 2027,” Deputy Lowry concluded.
