A planning application has been made for a three-storey commercial building with office space, a cafe, and accommodation in Carlow. 

Monaco Developments Tramore Ltd. made the application to Carlow County Council on May 12th, 2026. 

It has requested permission to construct a three-storey commercial/office building on Green Lane.

Should planning be granted, there will be two retail or cafe/restaurant units on the ground floor. 

Offices and ancillary accommodation would be dispersed across the three floors, with the building being constructed on the site of the existing car park.
