Plans for new ‘glamping’ site in county Kilkenny

Plans for a new ‘glamping’ site in county Kilkenny are back on track.

The applicant, James Fennelly, has sought permission to construct a new glamping site at Rathduff, Kells, which would consist six pods, a communal kitchen, office and toilet facilities.

Landscaping and the installation of a new wastewater treatment system were also included in the plans.

Mr Fennelly also sought permission to change use of an existing log cabin ‘garden room’ on the site to a ‘general purpose room’.

After studying the plans, planners at Kilkenny County Council reverted to Mr Fennelly seeking more information relating to the proposed development.

The council has confirmed it recently received a “validated application” in relation to the development.

It is expected to announce its decision on whether the plans for the new glamping site can proceed shortly.
