Major housing plans for Nenagh
Plans for a total of 142 residential units and a crèche on the outskirts of Nenagh have been submitted to Tipperary Co Council.
Dromin Nenagh Property Development Ltd submitted two separate applications to develop a site on the town’s Dromin Road. The first seeks permission for 91 residential units comprised of 10 four-bed two-storey detached houses; one four-bed two-storey detached house; 32 four-bed two-storey semi-detached houses; nine four-bed two-storey semi-detached houses; five four-bed two-storey semi-detached houses; 32 three-bed two-storey semi-detached houses; one three-bed two-storey semi-detached house, and one three-bed two-storey semi-detached house.
Planning permission is also sought for the construction of a new single-storey crèche consisting of four classrooms, a sleep room, kitchens, toilets, stores, staff room, office, reception and associated ancillary areas, together with new vehicular and pedestrian entrance, boundary treatments, new car parking and set-down area, bin store, external play area and signage.
Further permission is sought for the demolition of an unfinished two-storey dwelling on the site. The applicant intends to create a new vehicular road and pedestrian access from the existing access on Dromin Road; new vehicular roads and pedestrian accesses from the extended access road, together with new boundary treatments, landscaping, public lighting, car parking, signage, ESB sub-station, and drainage works. A Natura Impact Statement is included with the application.
The company’s second application seeks permission for 51 residential units comprising two two-storey detached apartment blocks, each with two one and two-bed apartments on ground floor level and two one and two-bed apartments on first floor (total of 16 units in the two blocks). Eleven three-bed two-storey end-terrace houses are planned along with 21 two-bed two-storey mid-terrace houses, and three three-bed two-storey end-terrace houses.
The plan includes the demolition of three unfinished two-storey dwellings and three foundations and bases for three two-storey dwellings. Associated site works similar to the first application are also sought.
Landowner consent in the name of Michelle McNamara, Director of A&G Thomond Builders, was granted in the case of each application.
Both applications were received by the council on September 30. The second has since been marked invalid. A decision is due on the first application by November 24.
