Plans revealed for additional apartments on site of former nightclub in Waterford city
Planning permission has already been granted for 38 bed units at the location
Plans have been revealed for additional student apartments on the site of a former nightclub in Waterford city.
The Causeway Group has applied for planning permission to construct two more apartments at the site of Sinnott’s Bar and Nightclub.
Under its latest plans, an additional floor would be constructed at 1-3 Manor Street.
The addition of dormer windows would provide for one six-bedroom apartment and one three-bedroom apartment.
A number of associated site development works would also be carried out.
The Causeway Group has already received planning permission to demolish the existing buildings at 28-32 John Street and 1-3 Manor Street.
The development will see the property undergo a change of use from licensed premises to student accommodation.
Permission has already been granted for seven bed units on the ground floor, along with communal student facilities such as dining rooms, a gym, a games room and other social areas.
A further 19 bed units are planned for the first floor, whilst 12 more bed units are set to be constructed on the second floor.
There will be further communal facilities, including laundry and living areas, on both floors.
Waterford City and County Council granted permission for the original development in July 2024.
However, work is yet to begin on the demolition of the existing buildings.
This latest application was submitted by the Causeway Group on August 7 and is currently at the pre-validation stage.
If deemed valid, a decision by the local authority is expected by October 1.
