New Development For Newtown Main Street

Main street MAY21

ewtownmountkennedy’s main street is going to look a little different if planning for 26 new dwellings gets the green light.

Situated on land down beside The Druid’s Well pub, the development application is by Papaver Ltd.

Which is not to be confused with the bould Duggans of sunny Bray and their approved residential development just up beside the Parkview.

Filed on May 10th, the Papaver Ltd proposed development’s planning application reads…

1. Construction of 26 no. dwellings comprising: • 15 no. 4 bedroom three storey townhouses comprising 150 sq.m. each.• 04 no. 3 bedroom two storey townhouses comprising 113.05 sq.m. each.• 04 no. 01 bedroom apartments comprising 83.7 sq.m. each.• 03 no. 02 bedroom apartments comprising 98.69 sq.m. each. 2. Proposed new retail unit comprising of 371 sq.m. together with a two-storey car park and bin stores. 3. A service yard of 64 sq. m. 4. New road to service the proposal and existing parcels of lands located to the east and south of the applicant’s lands. 5. Realignment and widening of existing road (R772), and the provision of new bus shelter and bay. 6. Connection to all public services. 7. All necessary ancillary and site works required to facilitate this development.

With Newtown long overdue its time in the sun, this latest development is a clear sign that the time is now.
