EXTENSION OF DURATION OF 20/707 - Permission for the provision of 35 no. dwellings

Bellscape Ltd has lodged a pre‑validation application with Louth County Council to extend the duration of planning permission 20/707. The developer seeks to provide a total of 35 dwellings – 13 houses and 22 apartments – on a site that straddles Main Street (R132) in Co Louth.

The houses are to be situated in the southern part of the site. They will comprise five detached, four semi‑detached and four terraced units, all two storeys high. Four of the detached houses will face Main Street and will feature south‑facing first‑floor roof terraces. Each dwelling will have its own vehicular access off Main Street. The apartment block will be a two‑storey building in the northern part of the site, with balconies on the first floor. A new vehicular entrance onto Main Street will serve the apartments, semi‑detached and terraced houses.

The proposal also includes a public footpath along the east side of Main Street and a pedestrian‑only entrance to the development off Main Street. A riverside amenity path is planned to enhance access to the waterway. Site works will cover alterations to ground levels, construction of retaining walls, internal roads and footpaths, an electricity substation, car parking, open space, public lighting, landscaping and boundary works.

The application is currently listed on the council’s public planning list as a pre‑validation request. No decision has yet been made on the extension of duration, and the application remains subject to the usual planning scrutiny.
