Five-storey student accommodation development planned for Waterford City

A five-storey student accommodation development is being planned in Kilbarry, for which planning permission has been lodged this week. 

The application was submitted to Waterford City & County Council by Mr Tony Robinson. 

The proposed works will involve the demolition of the existing dwelling at the site at Lacken Road, Kilbarry in Waterford city.

Planning permission is being sought to build a 5-storey student accommodation building with 94 bed-spaces with ancillary services, surface car parking spaces, bike storage, bin storage with access to the development from Lacken Road.

The planned development will include associated site works, signage, open space, landscaping, and boundary treatments.

A decision is due from the local authority on August 21 next.
