Plans to convert Kilkenny shop into hostel

Permission from Kilkenny County Council is being sought to change the use of a building on Barrack Street in Castlecomer, County Kilkenny.

A recently submitted planning application seeks to change the use of the building from residential/shop to residential/hostel units.

Plans include the provision of bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and a common kitchen/living area.

Permission for maintenance and repair to the shopfront and all associated site works are also sought.
