A decision is imminent on plans for a further 92 residential units in a new housing estate in Waterford city.

Planning permission is being sought for Phase 4 of the Knightswood estate on the Outer Ring Road.

This phase of the development would see the construction of a further 40 houses, with 16 two-beds, 18 three-beds and six four-beds.

Two apartment blocks are also planned. These would contain a total of 11 one-bedroom apartments and 41 two-bedroom apartments between them.

Works would also consist of vehicular and pedestrian connections to previous phases of the development.

As well as that, a pedestrian link to the existing residential development to the north of the application site would be developed.

Furthermore, work would be undertaken on internal roads and footpaths, public open space, communal amenity space, site landscaping, parking provision and bicycle storage.

A number of associated site works would also be carried out.

The planning application was submitted by Vetra Construction Ltd on August 7.
