Go ahead given for housing in centre of Blackrock
Louth County Council has granted planning permission for housing at Main Street in Blackrock
Louth County Council has given the go ahead for four new houses in the centre of Blackrock.
Michael English applied for planning permission in February for the development at Main Street, Blackrock, seeking the go ahead for the construction of four new three-bedroomed semi-detached houses.
Planning permission was also sought in the application for a new temporary waste water treatment plant which would be connected to the mains wastewater network.
The planning application also provided for all ancillary and all associated site development works including site clearance works, new vehicular entrances off the Main Street, car parking spaces, hard and soft land scaping and boundary treatment works.
Louth County Council made the decision to grant planning permission for the development on 29 May, subject to 11 planning conditions, including one which relates to the proposed temporary waste water treatment system.
Michael English had previously been refused planning permission for a development of four houses at Main Street in Blackrock.
Louth County Council refused planning permission last August, saying in its decision at the time that it was considered that the proposed temporary provision of a new waste water treatment system to service the four new properties on an interim basis had not been adequately demonstrated, "to be in compliance with policy objectives in the Louth County Development Plan, and if permitted would be a potential risk to public health, and contrary to an objective of the Louth County Development Plan, which requires "that all new developments connect to the public supply where public water and wastewater infrastructure are available or likely to be available and which has sufficient capacity".
