Plans lodged for housing development on Portlaoise brownfield site

Plans have been lodged for a housing development in Portlaoise.

A planning application for a housing development on a brownfield site in Portlaoise has been lodged with Laois County Council. 
The application has been submitted by Portlaoise Service Station Ltd to construct an infill development of six two-storey townhouses at a site at the junction of Block Road and the Dublin Road. 
The plans also seek permission for new site boundary treatments, car parking, hard and soft landscaping, ancillary site services and associated site works and alterations to the existing site entrance onto the roundabout.
"This modest proposal will see a vacant brownfield site returned to productive use and will provide much needed, quality housing in the busy town of Portlaoise," said the applicant. 
The application has been marked incomplete by council planners due to some documents being outstanding.
