The new application includes various housing types and infrastructure enhancements, with a decision expected by June 13, 2024.
A new residential housing development comprising 43 dwellings has been proposed in Freshford, with plans recently submitted to Kilkenny County Council. This new application follows the rejection of a previous proposal for the same number of dwellings in December 2023. The initial application was turned down by the council citing concerns regarding the treatment of effluent from the development and potential traffic and pedestrian safety hazards.
The latest plans aim to introduce a mix of housing types, including detached and semi-detached units of different sizes, totalling 43 dwellings. Additionally, enhancements to the existing site entrance and approach route are proposed, along with the construction of a new public footpath along Bohercrussia Street. The application also includes provisions for landscaping, infrastructure improvements, and site enclosures to complement the development.
Kilkenny County Council is set to review and make a decision on the new housing development plans by June 13, 2024, indicating a significant step forward in the potential expansion of residential offerings in Freshford.
