Another 74 apartments and houses planned in new Portlaoise development
Permission to be sought from Laois County Council for Mountmellick road site
Another 74 houses and apartments are being planned on the N80 Mountmellick Road in Portlaoise.
Carlow Kilkenny development company Hebron Mooncoin has announced that it will shortly lodge an application to Laois County Council for a housing development.
They will seek permission to build a total of 74 homes, a mix of duplexes, apartments and houses in Portlaoise.
This includes 24 'duplex' apartments in three storey buildings.
There is planned to be 22 apartments with one and two bedrooms, and 28 two and three bedroom houses, all two-storey.
The development will include 128 car parking spaces and six visitor parking spaces, and "private amenity space".
The site location is unclear as yet because only a notice of intention to seek planning has been published, in a local newspaper.
The Mountmellick Road has one of the highest number of residences in the town of Portlaoise.
It has been criticised for its lack of updated road infrastructure. Read how a Portlaoise councillor is "embarrassed" about the "forgotten" road.
