Permission for the demolition and clearance of buildings and structures on site including

Urban Life (GSD) Ltd has submitted a planning application to Louth County Council for the demolition and clearance of a group of buildings on the Swan Yard site in Drogheda. The proposal calls for the removal of five vacant dwelling houses, a domestic garage and associated outbuildings, with the aim of creating a new residential development of 60 units. The planned dwellings will comprise a mix of studios, apartments and duplex units, arranged in four separate blocks that will surround a central courtyard.

The application states that the Trinity Garden entrance walls, railings and name plate (RPS Ref. No. DB 402), together with the existing boundary walls to the north and west of the site, will be retained. The new development will be divided into Blocks A, B, C and D. Block A, situated in the north‑east part of the site, will be three storeys high and will contain six dwellings: three two‑bedroom apartments on the ground floor and three three‑bedroom duplex units occupying the first and second floors. Block B will also be three storeys tall and will house five two‑bedroom apartments on the ground floor and five three‑bedroom duplex units on the upper levels. Block C will be a combination of three‑storey and two‑storey sections, stepping down to two storeys where it meets the rear and side gardens of Trinity Ga. Details for Block D were not provided in the application extract.

The proposal is currently under consideration by the council’s planning committee. If approved, the demolition would clear the existing structures and allow the construction of the new residential blocks, which are intended to provide a range of housing options for the local community.
