A decision is due next month from Louth County Council on plans for 20 new apartments at Francis Street in Dundalk.

Nera Investments Ltd applied to Louth County Council last November, for planning permission for the development on lands at 23 and 24 Francis Street, Dundalk. The applicant is seeking the go ahead for a six-storey over basement mixed-use development comprising the provision of a ground floor office and a retail unit, along with ten, one-bed apartments and ten, two-bed apartments. 

The planning application also provides for the demolition of the existing two-storey office and retail buildings on the site; and bin, bicycle and bulky goods storage along with storage and plant rooms at basement level.

Louth County Council sought further information on the proposed development in January of this year, which was submitted by the applicant this month. A decision is now due on the application by 2 June.
