A DECISION is expected on July 12th on a proposed developmen­t of 133 homes on the Marsh Road.

The homes will be two storey residentia­l dwellings in a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced form. Vehicular access is from the Marsh Road (R150).

The developmen­t also provides for all associated site developmen­t works including alteration­s to ground levels, internal roads, car-parking, footpaths, open space, public lighting, landscapin­g and boundary treatments.

The applicatio­n site was previously granted planning permission for 260 residentia­l units.

Pat Neville Builders were granted that permission in 2006. The initial applicatio­n was for 318 houses with a four storey apartment block.

The council had sought €2.3m in developmen­t levies with it.

There was also a contributi­on of €400,000 sought for the ‘provision of odour control measures to assist in the mitigation of odours’ from the nearby waste water treatment plant.

The developmen­t address is at Newtown , Lagavooren, bordering onto the Marsh Road.
