Permission sought for next phase of major Waterford housing development project

Planning permission is being sought for the next phase of a major housing development project in County Waterford.

A planning application has been submitted for the development which is planned for the Monang and Abbeyside townlands in Dungarvan.

Permission is sought for the construction of 57 houses, including 13 two-bedroom houses, 24 three-bedroom houses and 20 four-bedroom houses.

There are also plans for a two-storey duplex block with 10 two-bedroom apartment units and a two-storey detached creche.

This would bring the total number of planned residential units to 67.

As well as that, work would be undertaken on the proposed vehicular entrance, internal access roads, footpaths and parking.

Furthermore, drainage, lighting and landscaping works would be carried out.

The planning application was submitted by Ruden Developments Limited on August 31.

A decision by Waterford City and County Council is expected by October 25.
