Permission for a residential development on lands to the east of Ballymakenny Road and

Ballymakenny Developments Ltd has lodged a planning application with Louth County Council for a new residential scheme on land east of Ballymakenny Road and south of Listoke Avenue in the townland of Greenbatter, County Louth. The proposal would see the construction of 72 two‑storey houses, comprising a mix of detached, semi‑detached and terraced units, each offering three or four bedrooms.

The developer plans to provide vehicular access to the site from Listoke Avenue to the north, which is situated off Ballymakenny Road to the west, and will rely on internal roads within the overall Listoke development to service the new homes. In addition to the housing, the application includes plans for landscaping, boundary treatments, car parking and other associated site development works. The total site area is approximately 2.1 hectares.

The application is currently under consideration by the council’s planning committee. No decision has yet been made, and the developer has not yet received formal approval. Residents and local stakeholders will be able to comment on the proposal during the council’s public consultation period, which will be announced once the application is formally submitted.

The scheme is part of a broader pattern of residential development proposals in the Drogheda area, with other projects such as a 68‑home development also being considered by the council.

For further details, see the Louth County Council planning file.
