Go-ahead for Rathcabbin nursing home plan

Tipperary Co Council has granted conditional planning permission for an extension and other works at St Kieran's Nursing Home, Rathcabbin.

William O'Sullivan on behalf of Laurel Lodge Care Homes Ltd has received retention permission for a single-storey standalone boiler house and store; internal layout changes to portion of the first floor attic area; and installed waste water treatment system and percolation area to EPA Small Communities Guidelines.

Permission has also been granted to demolish existing laundry room and store, and construct single-storey extensions to the rear and side of the existing nursing home consisting of 44 bedrooms (being 36 single and eight doubles to cater for 52 residents maximum in the nursing home) and ancillary areas. The plan also involves converting existing attic storage to staff habitable area, new site road entrance, elevational changes to the existing nursing home and all associated material alterations and associated site works.
