Permission is also sought from the Laois local authority for the provision of new internal roadways and footpaths by extension of the existing residential access road from Meadows Way, with associated works to facilitate vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access and car parking.

This is in addition to all other associated site excavation, infrastructural and site development works above and below ground including; surface water drainage system, foul sewerage network including connection to previously approved foul pumping station, public lighting and all ancillary site development works.
The company behind the project, David Walsh Homes Ltd. began the construction of an undeveloped element of the Meadows Way site at Crossneen, Graiguecullen in January 2023 with the construction of 90 private houses and an associated creche as part of its initial portfolio.
