Plans underway for Large-scale Residential Development in Ardee
Plans could see 136 new homes built
Plans are underway for a Large Scale Residential Development (LRD) in Ardee, that could see 136 new homes built.
Amay Developments Ltd has submitted an LRD Meeting Request to Louth County Council for a development at Dawsons Demense, Ardee for 136 residential units.
LRDs replace the previous Strategic Housing Development (SHD) process where applications went to An Bord Pleanála for determination.
An LRD Meeting Request is made with the local planning authority as part of the process when seeking planning permission for an LRD.
Following the receipt of LRD consultation request, the planning authority is required to facilitate a consultation meeting with the applicant within four weeks of the date receipt of such a request.
Following the LRD Meeting, there is a period of four weeks for the planning authority to issue an LRD opinion on whether the proposals constitute a reasonable basis for submitting a planning application on the LRD proposals. This LRD opinion is valid for six months.
A planning application must then be submitted within six months of receipt of an LRD opinion. The developer must make the application documentation available for public viewing on a dedicated website set up for this purpose. This is aimed at enhancing transparency and public participation in the LRD process.
