Relief road and 99 homes plan for Knockmullen to Millands

LOCAL developers Tom and Pat Redmond are preparing to lodge a planning application with Wexford for a new relief road around Gorey which would connect the technology park at Knockmullen on the Ballycanew Road with the Mill Road at Millands. The application also includes 99 new homes along the link road and a childcare and pre-school facility.

The relief road connecting the R741 and the L5082 will include cycle lanes, footpaths, hard and soft landscaping and a bridge over the river.

The 99 homes being proposed will include: 40 four-bed and 26 three-bed two-storey semi-detached homes; 3 three-storey five-bed and 21 two-storey four-bed detached homes; 3 two-storey three-bed terraced; and a three-storey apart- ment block with 6 two-bed apartments.

The proposed two-storey childcare and preschool facility will include six classrooms with a drop off area, staff parking, and hard and soft landscaping.

Also proposed are associated public open spaces; two pedestrian bridges over the river to the public space; connection to public services by altering the public foul sewer which traverses the site; surface water attenuation systems; the construction of a foul water pumping system within the site; and connection to the foul water and public sewerage mains and the public water supply.

Permission for retention of temporary structures on site is also being sought for a year.
