Planning sought for new motorhome park in New Ross
The application submits that the proposed site at Marshmeadows will 'enhance the town as a destination for visitors, in line with proposals contained in the New Ross Town Centre First Plan'.
The application was submitted on Wednesday, April 30, and seeks permission for a modern 23-bay motorhome park with drinking water, sewerage, and waste facilities, along with lighting, landscaping, controlled access, and ancillary works.
The proposed site is close to the Oaklands Roundabout, directly opposite New Ross Garda Station, which will 'offer oversight and security', according to the application. Meanwhile, both entrances – the main entrance and a second entrance for pedestrian access at the rear of the park – will be restricted by coded access.
Also to the rear of the park, is an open-sided stretch tent for a seating and dining area. Each individual plot size is approximately 120 metres-squared and has access to potable water, electric supply and WiFi. Each area will also have a picnic table and barbeque unit.
A screening report carried out by SWC Promotions found that the proposed development is 'unlikely to adversely impact' both the conservation objectives and the integrity of the River Barrow and River Nore Natura 2000.
Submissions or observations with respect to the proposed development, may be made in writing on or before Wednesday, June 11 to the Planning Department of Wexford County Council.
