Green light for Clare housing development as council gives go-ahead
An application by Ennis company Keogh Homes LTD has been been granted approval by Clare County Council to build a housing estate in the village of Corofin consisting of 28 homes.
The plans would see the construction of 14 semi-detached houses and 14 duplex units, consisting of 19 two-bed units, 7 three-bed properties and 2 four-bed dwellings.
The application also makes provision for 45 parking spaces, while a planning agreement has also been confirmed that at least three to six of the homes will be used for social or affordable housing.
The plans were approved on May 20 with Clare County Council giving a total of 25 conditions.
In their decision, the council stipulated that changes to the housing plans would need to be carried out to reduce impact on the visual amenity of the area.
A condition was also added to ensure that lighting plans adhered to Bat Conservation Ireland Guidelines in the interest of protecting the bats.
They added that building works only be carried out on weekdays from 8am to 7pm and Saturdays from 8am to 2pm.
