'Hearthfield', Farrandreg, Mount Avenue Dundalk
Proposed development
EXTENSION OF DURATION on PLAN REF: 24/60240 - Permission for revisions to phases 2 and 3 of the permitted development at "Hearthfield" only and affects 19 no. dwellings. It also includes the re-positioning and configuration of public open space and revisions to drainage and boundary treatments. The amendments proposed as they affect the Phase 2 permission (P.A. Ref. No. 20/210) affect permitted House No.’s 95, 96, 120 and 121. The change in house type proposed will result in an increase in the number of dwellings within Phase 2 from 47 to 49. It is also proposed to reposition and reconfigure the public open space area identified as ‘Local Green No. 4’ within Phase 2 to the south of the permitted Link Road within phase 3 and replace attenuation tank with an over-ground detention basin within reconfigured public open space in Phase 3. The position and alignment of the permitted link road is not affected by the revisions. The reconfiguration of the public open space will result in changes to the Phase 3 layout as granted under P.A. Ref. No. 20/211 affecting permitted dwellings No’s 140 – 154 located to the south of the permitted Link Road. It is proposed to replace these dwellings and locate them to the north of the permitted Link Road. The change in house types will result in a decrease in the number of dwellings permitted within Phase 3 from 67 to 65. The proposed amendments however will not result in any change to the overall number of dwellings permitted within the overall “Hearthfield” development as permitted under PA Ref. No. 18/943 (ABP Ref. 303628-19); PA Ref. No. 20/210 and PA Ref. No. 20/211 i.e. 194. For details of proposed replacement dwellings please see full development description as contained in the Public Notices. The proposed development also provides for car parking, public open space, landscape and boundary treatments, including the construction of retaining walls, public lighting, surface water attenuation, in addition to all site development works including alterations to ground levels. *Significant Further Information received on 28/08/2024 and revised notices received on 30/08/2024 which includes revisions to the permitted link road to provide a vehicular connection to residentially zoned lands to the south; a public lighting plan and additional information in relation to roads, drainage and structural engineering matters.
