Mixture of ‘commercial and residential' properties planned for old Tesco site in Wexford town

At the July meeting of Wexford County Council (WCC), Sinn Féin councillor Tom Forde requested an update regarding the site. 'What's the long-term plan there?' he asked. 'It's been discussed regularly at our district meetings and, as far as I'm aware, we have a ten-year lease on that site and are currently three years into it.' Senior planner Diarmuid Heuston said the future of the site was 'open to discussion' and that some potential plans for the area would be revealed upon the publication of the Wexford Town Centre First Strategy as part of the Wexford Town Local Area Plan. Chief executive Eddie Taaffe offered some further information, saying that the site 'will be zoned for a mixture of residential and commercial properties'.
