Decision due soon on plans for proposed 210-unit housing development in Kilkenny
Kilkenny County Council are expected to make a decision on plans for a major new housing development early next week.
Cairn Homes Properties Ltd. are seeking permission to construct a 210-unit housing development at William Robertson Way, Poulgour Road, Kilkenny.
The site is located in Kilkenny City's Western Environs, between the areas of Wetlands and Kilcreene.
130 two-storey properties (8 two-beds, 106 three-beds and 16 four-beds) are planned.
These are to be delivered as a mixture of semi-detached and terraced houses.
Also planned are 80 duplex apartments (40 two-beds and 40 three-beds) in a series of five duplex apartment buildings of three storeys in height.
A two-storey creche (c. 524.7 sq.m.) has also been earmarked for the site.
As part of the application, the applicant seeks permission for 450 bicycle parking spaces and 429 car parking spaces.
They are also seeking a connection to the water supply and the provision of a local pumping station to Irish Water specifications.
A decision was due to be made on the development earlier this year, but was delayed due to further information being requested by the local authority.
