10 four-bed homes, 35 three-bed homes, and 26 two-bed homes will be built, should permission be granted.

Multiple green spaces and bike shelters for residents have been included in the plans, alongside 148 car parking spaces.

The site the proposed development would be located on spans over six acres and is situated in the west of Carlow Town.

The CW1 and CW2 bus routes serve the area.
