On a 1.56 hectare site on the Dublin Road between Glenwood and the Teagasc offices, Torca Developments Ltd lodged an application with the Council in May, seeking to build 67 homes comprising of:

• 23 one-bed apartments 
• 13 two-bed apartments
• 14 two-bed duplex
• seven three-bed duplex
• one four-bed duplex
• four one-bed houses

The new homes would be built within nine blocks ranging in height from one - four storeys.

The application for the new development include plans for new vehicular and pedestrian accesses via the Dublin Road to the south-west and Glenwood to the north, as well as new pedestrian access via Rockfield to the north-east and Glenwood to the north.

A decision on the application had been held up following a request for further information on the proposed development.

Significant further information was received on September 19, which revealed a "revision of car parking west of Block 1 and revised elevation design to the northern bookend of Block 1".

A decision is due on the application by October 16, with submissions due by October 2.
