Plans to repurpose communal space to apartments in Red Barns development in Dundalk

Plans are underway to repurpose a communal space within a permitted apartment building at the Red Barns Road in Dundalk to additional apartments.

Wonderglade Unlimited Company has applied to Louth County Council for planning permission for the development at Bayview, Red Barns Road, Dundalk.

The developer is seeking the go ahead for the repurposing of a communal space within a permitted apartment building to provide four additional one-bedroom apartments.

The permitted apartment mix would then be amended from 14 one-bedroom and 15 two-bedroom apartments, 29 in total, to 18 one-bedroom and 15 two-bedroom apartments, 33 in total.

The planned change would see the total number of units across the Bayview Development increased from 89 units, comprising 60 houses and 29 apartments, to 93 units comprising 60 houses and 33 apartments.
