Permission refused for housing development in County Kilkenny town
Planning permission has been refused for a proposed housing development in Thomastown, County Kilkenny.
Five apartments were planned to be located on a site at Mill Street in the town.
Permission was also sought to retain a partially complete two storey structure and to complete and extend the two storey structure to form a two-bed semi-detached dwelling.
The proposed development would've consisted of works 'within the curtilage' of a protected structure, namely 'The Coach House'.
Other features of the submitted planning application for the five apartments included a new pedestrian access point, private open space for each apartment, a communal amenity open space, a bin store enclosure and bicycle parking.
Boundary treatments, landscaping and a proposed connection to existing services were also envisaged alongside all associated site works.
The decision to refuse planning permission was made by Kilkenny County Council on June 15, 2022.
