The council is also proposing to build 166 units at Burnaby Mills in Killincarrig, with a similar mix.

The plans are available at wicklow.ie, and in council buildings in Greystones and Wicklow, up to Friday, March 15.

Submissions for both projects can be made until Tuesday, April 2, 2019, to part8@wicklowcoco.ie, or in writing to David Porter, Administrative Officer, housing section of Wicklow County Council.

These applications are being brought under the Part 8 process, which allows for the application of planning permission for projects by local authorities.

After the public consultation period, a report is made to the members of the council including any submissions and issues raised as well as a recommendation on whether to proceed.

After consideration, the members can decide to proceed, to modify, or not to proceed with the development.
