Plans for new estate in Kilkenny village shot down after objections

A new development of family homes planned for a Kilkenny village has been refused following some objections from local residents.

Developer CSC Construction had requested planning permission from Kilkenny County Council to create a 13-home development in Dangan, near Kilmacow.

However, the council recently refused permission for the development after hearing objections, including privacy issues, access issues and whether it was in-keeping with the zoning set-out in the county development plan.

CSC Construction had osught to build nine, three-bed two-storey dwelling houses and four two-bed, two-storey dwelling houses on the site.

The developers have leave to appeal Kilkenny County Council’s decision to An Bord Pleanála by the end of the month.
