A plan to build 20 new homes in Tramore, Co Waterford, has been approved.
Kilkenny Investment Property Holding Ltd has been granted permission by An Bord Pleanála, after the matter was appealed.
Waterford City & County Council had granted permission to the developers, but a third-party appeal saw it referred to the board.
The development is located on a 0.73ha site in Newtown, Tramore, and is accessed via the R675 Tramore coast road. It includes 20 independent living units.
A third-party appeal was made by the owners of a property adjoining the southern site boundary.
Among the concerns raised was an issue with the lack of green space in the development, concerns about boundary treatments, and the proximity to a local bus service and local shops and services.
However, An Bord Pleanála has backed the original decision of the local authority and, subject to compliance with a number of conditions, the development is now free to proceed.
Among the conditions are a requirement to strictly comply with restrictions on the occupancy of the independent living units. These restrictions include ensuring the residents are over 65, or have mobility issues, intellectual disabilities, or mental health issues.
