Associated bin and bike storage, carparking and site landscaping, together with all associated site development works will also take place.
There will also be a new vehicular entrance to the site from the Kill St. Lawrence Road (L91132) and the upgrading of the existing vehicular junction onto Killure Road.
The planning application was submitted by S & K Carey Ltd on March 10.
A number of objections were made to the proposed development, with the majority coming from residents of the neighbouring Kill St. Lawrence estate.
The residents raised concerns over traffic congestion, noise pollution and safety, particularly for children walking to school.
Waterford City and County Council granted permission for the development on December 7, with a total of 27 conditions attached to the decision.
