For demolition of my existing dwelling

Kilkenny County Council has recorded a new planning application from Maria Raggett for the demolition of her existing dwelling on Redwood, Castle Gardens, Castle Road, Kilkenny (R95 DHX2). The proposal also includes the construction of a new two‑storey dwelling that will be accessed from the existing site entrance, together with all associated site works. The application was received on 27 April 2026 and a decision is expected by 21 June 2026.

The council’s public planning list shows the application as “New Application” with no decision code yet. The file will contain the applicant’s plans, drawings and any conditions that may be imposed. The council will consider the proposal against local planning policies, including those relating to building height, setbacks, and the provision of adequate parking and drainage.

Other recent planning items in Co Kilkenny illustrate the range of developments being considered by the council. These include a farm gate installation on the south side of Balleen Lower Road, a proposed extension and alterations to an existing house in Ballyhendricken, a 24‑hour opening for a new development at R704 Garrandarragh, and upgrades to a septic tank in Ballygub, Inistioge. Each of these items is also listed as a new application, with decision dates to be announced.

The council’s decision on Ms Raggett’s application will be made in the context of these other proposals, and will take into account the impact on the local environment, traffic, and community facilities. Residents and interested parties will be notified of the council’s decision once it is made.

For full details of the application, including the plans and any conditions, readers should consult the Kilkenny County Council planning file.
