Louth County Council permits redevelopment of Long Walk Shopping Centre

Louth County Council has given the go ahead for a redevelopment of the Long Walk Shopping Centre in Dundalk.

Lindat Limited applied for planning permission in February of this year, for the development at the Long Walk Shopping Centre, which principally consists of the amalgamation of Unit 12, 13/14, 15 and part of 16, to create an enlarged unit, and the change of use from retail to café, with the remaining area in Unit 16 to be used as a smaller retail unit.

The applicant also plans to amalgamate Unit 6, 7, 8 and 9, to create an enlarged retail unit, and the amalgamation of Unit 34, 35, 36 and 37; as well as the amalgamation and change of use of Unit 38; a service corridor; management office; and part of the mall floor area; all to create an enlarged retail unit.

The planning application also provides for the removal of the canopy, replacement light fixtures and new shopfronts all along the eastern and part of the southern elevation of the building; internal modifications; signage; and all associated works.

Louth County Council granted conditional planning permission for the development on 11 April.
