New homes planned across the county

By Darragh Murphy, Waterford News & Star

New homes are coming down the pipeline across Waterford city and county, with developments taking place in Aglish, Tramore and Williamstown.

In Williamstown, Waterford city, a planning application has been submitted for Phase Four of the Knightswood Estate.

The latest phase includes including 92 homes, comprised of houses, duplexes, and two apartment blocks.

A 75-child capacity creche is also in development.

The development will consist of vehicular and pedestrian connections to previous phases of the development, a pedestrian link to the existing residential development to the north of the application site, internal roads and footpaths, public open space, communal amenity space, site landscaping and parking provision.

A decision from the local planning authority is expected by October 1.

Further west, in Aglish, DFL Construction has submitted a planning application for the construction of 17 new houses.

The plans consist of 15 three-bed houses and 2 two-bed houses.

There have been strong calls made of late for homes in West Waterford, with pressure on developers to commence projects.

Waterford Council will deliver a decision on the planning application by September 30.

Meanwhile, it's good news for Tramore, as earlier this week a planning application for 25 age-friendly, independent living houses was given the go-ahead to commence construction in the Ballycarnane area.

The development consists of 17 one-bed dwellings and 8 two-bed dwellings.
