Permission granted for new medical centre in busy part of Waterford city
The site is located at an address of 99 Tramore Road, Waterford city
Planning permission has been granted for the development of a new medical centre in a busy part of Waterford city.
The site, at an address of 99 Tramore Road, Waterford city, will become home to a health and well-being facility known as The Well Clinic.
The development will include internal refurbishment with internal layout rearrangements, as well as changes to parking and vehicular access.
Works on boundary treatment, landscaping and all associated site works and connections will also be carried out.
The ground floor will include a waiting room, a reception and a consultation room.
Meanwhile, the first floor will house another two consultation rooms and a store area.
The proposed clinic will operate on an appointment-only basis, providing consultation services only, with a maximum of three staff members on site at any one time.
Patient visits will be short in duration and the intensity of use will remain modest.
On-site parking will be provided primarily for patient use, including accessible and set-down provision.
Staff parking will be accommodated within an adjacent car park by agreement with the landowner.
The developers argue that, given the small scale and appointment-based nature of the clinic, the proposal will generate low levels of traffic.
The application was submitted by The Well Clinic on January 2. Waterford City and County Council granted permission for the development on June 9.
