Planning application received: the construction of a residential housing estate. The development will consist of the construction of a 55-unit resident

Tipperary County Council received a planning application on 3 June 2026 from Gort Na Manach Abbey Farm, situated on Cahir Road in Inishlounaght, Clonmel. The applicant proposes the construction of a residential housing estate comprising 55 units.

The development will include ten semi‑detached two‑storey houses with four bedrooms each, thirty‑two semi‑detached two‑storey houses with three bedrooms, one detached single‑storey house with two bedrooms and two two‑storey terraced blocks. Each terraced block will contain eight townhouses – four mid‑terrace units with two bedrooms and four end‑of‑terrace units with three bedrooms. In addition, a two‑storey maisonette apartment block is planned to provide four two‑bedroom apartments.

Other works associated with the proposal involve connection to existing infrastructure: foul sewers, water mains and utilities permitted under planning references 05‑43, 07‑107, 05550043, 07550107, 17601211 and 19600097. The application also covers adjustment of site levels, boundary treatments, open spaces, landscaping and all related site development works.

The site is accessed via the Gort Na Manach housing scheme and the Poppyfield Roundabout. At present the decision status is “N/A” with a decision due on 28 July 2026.

Local news outlets have reported that North Tipperary is set for a major housing boost, citing plans for 56 new homes in the area. The Gort Na Manach proposal aligns with this broader trend of residential development in the county.
