Conditional planning permission has been granted by Waterford City and County Council for a controversial proposed residential development on the outskirts of Waterford City.
Plans for the proposed development in the Deerpark area of Waterford on the Outer Ring Road in Williamstown, were submitted to Waterford City and County Council in June by Noel Frisby Construction Ltd. and include 79 apartments in three blocks.
Residents of Deerpark cited concerns on the proposal for the construction of the apartments surrounding their homes.
Their objections centred on what they claim is a deviation from the original plan for the development, a blocking of natural light, a lack of parking and traffic management, among other issues.
Conditional permission has now been granted for the construction of 79 apartments, which are to be divided into 3 blocks.
Block D will be 4 to 5 storeys high comprising of 34 one, two, and three bedroom apartment units.
Block E is intended to be 3 to 4 storeys high containing 21 apartments.
The final Block is a four storey building containing 24 one and two bedroom apartments.
Planning permission was granted by the local authority on October 24th.
