A Tralee-based company has re-applied for permission for a €10 million housing development at the edge of the town.
Rodcliff Construction Ltd is seeking permission to build 46 residential units on a disused mobile home and caravan park in Killeen.
The company sought planning permission for the development in March this year, but Kerry County Council refused the application on five conditions in April.
Among the reasons cited for planning refusal by Kerry County Council in April, was the proposed development was located in unzoned land outside the Tralee town boundary.
Under the new Tralee Municipal District Settlements Plan adopted by the council in August, the site was zoned residential.
The renewed application seeks to demolish the existing caravan park facilities and miscellaneous structures - on the site of the former Tralee Mobile Home and Caravan Park.
Rodcliff Construction Ltd proposes to build 46 residential units consisting of six – there-bed semi-detached units and 24 three-bedroom houses.
There's also set to be four apartment buildings, comprising of eight one-bed apartments, and eight two-bed apartments; as well as 80 car parking spaces, served by a new entrance off the R556 Abbeydorney road.
The company says the new Tralee Northern Relief Road will make the site highly accessible off the local and national road network; and that all residential units would be delivered by early 2027.
The proposed “Líos Íarr” estate site is located across the road from the Lios Ard estate, and adjoins Killeen Heights and Redwood Park.
Kerry County Council is due to decide on the planning application by October 30th.
